Expect delays at Cave Rock on Wednesday

One bore of the Cave Rock tunnel will be closed Feb. 11 between 6:30am and 2pm so officials can stabilize the rocks.

A rock slide on Saturday temporarily closed the road. Boulders, some 6-feet-wide, had to be removed.

On Wednesday, the westbound lanes of Highway 50 will be closed. Traffic will alternate between using the eastbound lanes. Thirty-minute delays are likely.

The approximately $7,000 in emergency repairs will remove potentially loose rocks from the roadside slope near the westbound Cave Rock tunnel entrance, officials said.
