Fanny Bridge replacement in 2022; Work on first phase of two new roundabouts finishes in 2020
Submitted by paula on Sun, 05/17/2020 - 6:36pm
NORTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - If you've been on SR89 near Tahoe City lately you've noticed the new roundabout that was installed south of the Fanny Bridge near the transit station. A new bridge over the Truckee River was also created during the first stage of the SR89/Fanny Bridge Revitalization Project which included another roundabout on the west end of Tahoe City on SR89.
Completion date of Fanny Bridge/ SR89 project pushed out, final stage may start in 2020
Submitted by paula on Mon, 04/29/2019 - 5:29pm
The SR89/Fanny Bridge Community Revitalization Project on the North Shore of Lake Tahoe has not progressed as expected and completion will not happen in 2019 though lots of work is scheduled.
Weather, utilities and construction scheduling have put it well behind the original 2018 planned completion and now construction work will be getting off to a late start in 2019 because of high water levels at the lake and Truckee River after an above average winter of snow and rain. Crews are expecting to start around mid-June.
