LAKE TAHOE, Nev. – The Nevada Department of Transportation, NDOT, continues work on US50 at Lake Tahoe. They have provided an update to their construction progress on their project between Spooner Summit and Stateline:
Why a section of the highway hasn’t been paved?
- Work on the one-mile section from Round Hill Pines toward Zephyr Cove will be conducted next season to align with drainage improvements with the Nevada Tahoe Conservation District project at Bourne Meadow, which is currently under construction. NDOT wants to avoid any possible damage to the new pavement during the drainage work.
- The curb and gutter replacement in this area will also take place during season two work in 2026.
Striping, guardrail, or its?
Striping work is nighttime only from 8 p.m. on Sundays until noon on Fridays through Oct. 15, in the Stateline corridor. Work may also include daytime striping from Round Hill to Cave Rock. ITS trenching and placing conduit is a 24-hour operation starting Sunday night from Cave Rock to Glenbrook with trunk line (the conduits for fiber optic cable) installation. Guardrail work is during the day, approximately 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., from Round Hill to Cave Rock.
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- No lane restrictions expected on weekends.
- A minimum of one lane in each direction will stay open at all times.
- Drivers can anticipate moderate travel delays through the work zones.
- Speeds will be reduced to 35 mph through work zones.
- While access to businesses and residences will be continuously maintained in most areas, certain side streets and driveways will temporarily be impacted as roadway excavation takes place in the immediate area. Steel plates and earthwork will then be used after excavation to reestablish side street access.
