Westbound lanes of Highway 50 at Cave Rock will be closed May 27 starting at 9am.

Nevada Department of Transportation officials plan to evaluate and secure the Cave Rock rock face and slope following a rock fall in February.

Both directions of traffic will alternate through the eastbound tunnel, with up to 30-minute delays.

Next week’s work will remove any additional rock debris above the tunnel. Experts will also investigate current rock face condition and develop interim strategies to further heighten slope stability and safety.

    The water babies were not happy.

    It’s a two lane road through the eastbound tunnel. Traffic shouldn’t have to be stopped for thirty minutes.
