LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) continues its work on US50 from Stateline to Spooner.
UPDATED HOURS:
This Sunday, Aug. 2, from approximately 9:30 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., there will be one-lane flagger-controlled through the tunnel late Sunday nights and possibly again Monday night as electricians pull wire at the Cave Rock tunnel. 24-hour work zones with single-lane closures begin Sundays at 8 p.m. and conclude at noon on Fridays. Crews will resume paving late August. In the meantime, crews will continue to finalize curb and gutter, drainage, barrier and guardrail.
PAVING UPDATES:
- Crews have continued the paving from Spooner Summit past Glenbrook. They will return later this season to complete the top one inch.
- Paving operation from Glenbrook to Cave Rock will begin late August. While paving the Cave Rock tunnel, there will be traffic control, and travelers may encounter longer delays; more details are forthcoming.
REMINDERS:
- Drivers can anticipate moderate travel delays through the work zone.
- Work zones are there to improve the roads, and are not a place for impatient or aggressive driving. Please Take it Slow Tahoe: speed is reduced to 35 mph through all zones.
- Double penalty in work zones: the Nevada Revised Statute 484.3667 doubles the penalty for speeding, up to $1,000, in any marked road construction or maintenance work zone when workers are present. More info: https://www.dot.nv.gov/safety/work-zone-driving-safety
- While access to businesses and residences will be continuously maintained in most areas, certain side streets and driveways will temporarily be impacted as as a moving operation for cold milling and paving takes place in the immediate area. Once the milling and paving equipment is safely out of the way, flaggers will release traffic at side streets and driveways.
