Boulder Mountain Road to get much-needed fixes

A section of Boulder Mountain Road in the Angora burn area will be closed from July 22-Sept. 2.

The pavement will be replaced. The road has had problems ever since the fire of 2007 because the water table rose and began to cause potholes and the road to buckle.

A 350-foot section will be closed north of the Lake Tahoe Boulevard-Boulder Mountain Drive intersection to just south of the Cone Road-Boulder Mountain Drive intersection.

Motorists may use Tahoe Mountain Road or Forest Mountain Road to access the northern side of Boulder Mountain Road.
