If you've had to travel on Highway 50 through Meyers this week you've most likely been stuck in one spot for quite a while.
Due to a grinding and paving job on U.S. Highway 50 from Apache Avenue to Country Club Drive in Meyers, motorists have found one lane of controlled traffic each day from from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. On Monday, the traffic back up started in Meyers and went past the Tahoe Valley Airport.
The "local's way" on Pioneer Trail is affected with the controlled traffic. For those heading over Echo Summit, it will be easier to take Lake Tahoe Blvd. to North Upper Truckee Road.
