Liberty Utilities expects to have power restored to the River Road area of Highway 89 by Tuesday night.

Those 136 customers have been without power for days.

There are about 80 additional customers still without power scattered throughout the service area. They, too, should have power tonight.

It took helicopters to get the work done.

Almost all Truckee Donner PUD customers have power, too. As of Tuesday morning 20 customers were in the dark. That should be rectified soon.

Caltrans has made some progress on clearing Highway 89 around Emerald Bay, but the amount of snow and debris is substantive. With more storms rolling in this week, officials said to expect the road to remain closed for a while.
