The rock "came off Echo Summit" onto U.S. Highway 50 at about 8 a.m. on Wednesday, according to the California Highway Patrol. While it initially blocked both lanes, crews were able to move the boulder to the westbound lanes and reopen the eastbound lanes quickly.

One-way traffic is in effect.

The incident marks at least the third time this month that a rockslide has slowed or completely stopped traffic on the popular thoroughfare, including a "cabin-sized boulder" that crews eventually had to blow up.

The road is a major route in and out of South Lake Tahoe.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
