Submitted by paula on Tue, 10/31/2017 - 7:24am

Construction on U.S. Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe will be extended through the end of November, weather permitting. The work remaining includes the installation of new traffic signals at Tahoe Keys Boulevard and 3rd Street.

Expect lane closures and extra traffic on U.S. Highway 50 in South Lake Tahoe from the "Y" to Winnemucca Avenue during these final stages.

The project is a three-year one and includes water quality improvements, a new stop light at Lodi, timed traffic lights from the Y to Trout creek, bike lanes, bus pull outs, sidewalks and retaining walls.

Caltrans is working to finish this stretch of the new storm drain system project. Construction will resume in Spring 2018 for the next stretch from Winnemucca to Sierra Boulevard.

Plan ahead and #BeWorkZoneAlert.
