NDOT wraps up series of overnight closures of SR28 in Incline Village

The Nevada Department of Transportation has wrapped up a series of overnight full road closures on State Route 28 shared used path ahead of schedule. The roadway closure allowed for installation of pre-fabricated bridge decks on the three-plus mile shared-use path under construction between southern Incline Village and Sand Harbor State Park.

Both directions of SR 28 were closed overnight on May 14 and crews had planned to work to continue overnight May 15 but that has been canceled.

Both directions of SR 28 are anticipated to briefly close in the coming weeks for final roadway striping. NDOT will advise the community in advance as the closure schedule is finalized.

Through late June, single lane closures will also take place Mondays through Fridays from 7:00 a.m.- 6:30 p.m. in areas between the southern end of Incline Village and three miles south of Sand Harbor State Park. Periodic overnight and weekend single lane closures may also occur. Motorists should anticipate 20 to 30-minute travel delays.

When complete this summer, the new pathway by contractor Granite Construction will enhance safety and mobility for everyone on the roadway. More than 2.5 million vehicles a year travel on State Route 28, mixing with as many as 2,000 pedestrians and bicyclists who park and recreate near the roadside on peak days, creating safety and accessibility concerns on the mountain highway. Three new parking areas near the Ponderosa Ranch and Tunnel Creek Café will also provide safer parking options.
