Placer County - Caltrans is advising motorists of various lane closures next week due to multiple construction projects in the Lake Tahoe region.
In Tahoe City along State Route 28 (SR 28), excavation and paving work continues for a $31.7 million Caltrans pavement rehabilitation project. The contractor for this project is Mercer Fraser Company of Eureka.
Work is scheduled from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. Sunday, August 24 through Thursday, August 28 between Commons Beach Road and Grove Street. This work will occur in the westbound direction of SR 28 with traffic being shifted to allow for bi-directional traffic. Access to cross streets and driveways will remain open, however no street parking will be allowed in the construction zone. Work is also scheduled Friday, August 29 from 7 a.m. until noon.
In addition, utility work is scheduled from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday, August 25 and Tuesday, August 26 between Star Harbor Court and Lake Forest Road (west).
The Fanny Bridge in Tahoe City remains closed to all traffic until Saturday, November 15. Traffic will detour onto Lake Boulevard to access State Route 89 (SR 89) and SR 28. West Lake Boulevard remains open for business and transit center access with only the Fanny Bridge being closed. The pedestrian and bicycle path across the Truckee River Dam will remain open throughout the project. Pile driving will be occurring this weekend, Saturday, August 23 and Sunday, August 24, which will create noise and vibration in the area.
Broadband utility work is scheduled along SR 28 Monday, August 25 through Thursday, August 28 from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. between the State Route 267 junction in Kings Beach and the Nevada state line.
