LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) continues its project on US-50 at Lake Tahoe. This is the first season of construction on the stretch between Stateline and Spooner Summit. It goes until October 2025, depending on the weather.
NEW UPDATE/HOURS

- To maintain guardrail scheduling, crews anticipate nighttime work beginning Monday, Aug. 18, at 8 p.m.
- Noise and decibel levels will constantly be monitored to maintain residential threshold levels under 67 (equivalent to the sound of a vacuum cleaner at a distance or a loud conversation).

- No lane restrictions are expected on weekends.
- A minimum of one lane in each direction will always stay open.
- Drivers can anticipate moderate travel delays through the work zone.
- Speeds will be reduced to 35 mph through work zones.

Steel plates and earthwork will then be used after excavation to reestablish side street access.
