Expect delays on Highway 50 through Cave Rock beginning Sept. 9.

Both directions of traffic will be alternated through the eastbound Cave Rock tunnel, with travel delays of up to 30 minutes each weekday between approximately 7am and 4:30pm. The closures are anticipated to last four or five weeks.

The closures are so NDOT officials can make preparations for work that will begin in the spring.

The project will extend the westbound, lakeside Cave Rock tunnel entrance, providing an extended overhang for further driver safety and protection against potential rockfall.
