Placer County - Caltrans is advising motorists of various lane closures due to the broadband installation project that is continuing for the 2025 season on State Route 28 (SR 28) along the north shore of Lake Tahoe next week.
The broadband project is part of a larger statewide effort by the California Department of Technology to bring high-speed internet into rural communities. The contractor for this project is Teichert Construction.
Utility work is scheduled at the following locations and times:
- Along eastbound SR 28 Monday, May 12 through Thursday, May 15 from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. between Laurel Drive in Tahoe Vista and the State Route 267 junction. Work is also scheduled between 6 a.m. and Noon on Friday, May 16.

Please note that crews will be shifting around to various sections throughout the week with one-way traffic control in effect when necessary.
Also, spot pavement repairs are scheduled along SR 28 Tuesday, May 13 from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. between Speedboat Avenue in Brockway and Onyx Street in Carnelian Bay.
Motorists could encounter total delays up to 15 minutes between Tahoe City and Kings Beach on SR 28. Please allow for extra time to reach your destination, especially during school drop-off and pick-up times.
The SR 28 Pavement Rehabilitation Project is now scheduled to begin in Tahoe City on Monday, June 2. Specific lane closures will be announced the week prior.
All work on road construction projects will be suspended on weekends and holidays. Schedules are subject to change due to weather conditions, equipment or material availability, or other unexpected events.
