Icy conditions following a major winter storm closed U.S. Highway 95 in Nye County in both directions for hours early Wednesday north of Beatty before it was reopened.

The Nye County Sheriff’s Office said the roads were so slick between Beatty and Tonopah that the highway was closed overnight. Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Travis Smaka said in a text there were “several crashes in the area.”

Adrienne Packer, spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Transportation, said the road was briefly reopened Wednesday morning, but a subsequent crash caused it to be closed it again. It was reopened at around 10 a.m. and remained open Wednesday afternoon.
