SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The Caltrans contractor working on the roundabout at the intersection of SR89 and US50 has completed concrete work on the bypass land and it opened Friday.

The $4.1M project converted a T-intersection into a three-leg roundabout with a bypass lane.

The roundabout has been in use for several days and Friday was the first day with the westbound bypass lane.
