NORTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – Caltrans is advising motorists of various lane closures due to the broadband installation project that is continuing on State Route 28 (SR 28) along the north shore of Lake Tahoe next week.
The broadband project is part of a larger statewide effort by the California Department of Technology to bring high-speed internet into rural communities.
Utility work is scheduled at the following locations and times:
– Along eastbound SR 28 on Wednesday, June 25, from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m. between Laurel Drive in Tahoe Vista and the State Route 267 junction in Kings Beach.
Please note that crews will be shifting around to various sections throughout the week with one-way traffic control in effect when necessary.
