Fifteen miles of State Routes 28 and 431 around Incline Village will be repaved and improved during a two-year, $35 million project, the Nevada State Board of Transportation (NDOT) announced.
A contract was approved this week with contractor Q&D Construction. The last time the highways were last fully reconstructed was nearly 14 years ago. As many as 10,000 drivers travel the highways every day.
Community members can anticipate intermittent lane closures and up to 30-minute travel delays on sections of State Route 28 between Crystal Bay and south of Sand Harbor State Park and on Mt. Rose Highway from Incline Village to the Tahoe Rim Trailhead at Mt. Rose Summit during the 2021 and 2022 summer construction seasons as the following improvements are made:
State Route 28 from Nevada/California border to south of Sand Harbor State Park
- Repaving- Four inches of roadway asphalt will be removed and replaced from Nevada/California border to Ponderosa Ranch Road in southern Incline Village
- Select roadway cross slopes will be reconstructed for enhanced roadway alignment and drainage
- Drainage and guardrail improvements will enhance roadside safety and water quality, ensuring additional stormwater treatment before reaching Lake Tahoe
- Enhanced sidewalks, sidewalk ramps and driveway accesses will provide additional connectivity, accessibility and safety
- An aging timber retaining wall on State Route 28 near Memorial Point lookout will be reinforced with a soil nail wall. Anchor bars and “shotcrete” concrete will create the soil nail wall to help reinforce against age-related settlement
- Drainage improvements will be made where Marlette Creek crosses underneath SR 28, enhancing water quality and ensuring additional stormwater treatment before reaching Lake Tahoe
State Route 431 (Mt. Rose Highway) from State Route 28 roundabout in Incline Village to Tahoe Rim Trailhead at Mt. Rose Summit
- Repaving- Three inches of roadway asphalt will be removed and replaced
- New Concrete Barrier Rail- select aging roadside concrete barrier rail will be upgraded on multiple segments of the corridor
- Select roadway shoulders will be reconstructed and flattened
- NDOT will keep community members updated as construction begins.
