Hwy 89 road construction by Fanny Bridge may cause delays

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) will be performing grinding and paving work on sections of State Highway 89 in the Tahoe City area the next three days.

The work will take place from Blackwood Creek Road to and including the Truckee River (“Fanny”) Bridge in Tahoe City. It’s scheduled from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, Feb. 9-11 and will require one-way traffic control.

A number of potholes have developed on the highway because of the heavy amount of precipitation so far this winter, necessitating this repair work prior to a construction project resuming this spring that will rebuild the highway.

According to Caltrans, expect crews to be working on roads on the south shore soon, now that there is a dry spell, giving them optimum conditions to complete the work.
