LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – NDOT continues work this week on its paving project on US50 between Stateline and Spooner Summit.
PAVING RESUMES
Crews will resume paving on August 31. In the meantime, crews will continue to finalize curb and gutter, drainage, barrier and guardrail.
WORKING HOURS:
24-hour work zones with single-lane closures begin Sundays at 8 p.m. and conclude at noon on Fridays.
LABOR DAY HOURS
There will be no work over the Labor Day weekend. Crews will conclude working on Friday, Sept. 4 at 6 a.m. and resume on Wednesday, Sept. 9 at 6 a.m.
PAVING UPDATES
Paving operations (milling and paving, removing the top 2-3 inches of existing asphalt) in the Bourne’s Meadow area and from Glenbrook to Cave Rock will begin August 31. While paving in the Cave Rock tunnel, there will be lane shifts and traffic control. Travelers may encounter longer delays during this section, currently scheduled for the week of Sept. 14. Open-grade paving (the final top one-inch) of what’s been paved will begin later in September.
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-safetyWhile 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.
