Expect delays on Echo Summit for much of the week as Caltrans works to stabilize the hillside.
“We have a rock-scaling operation to knock down loose material, today through Thursday. They’re working 12-hour shifts with one-way traffic control, 6am to 6pm,” Steve Nelson with Caltrans told Lake Tahoe News.
Traffic is delayed at least 15 minutes.
