Douglas County and Lake Tahoe road closures for NDOT road surfacing projects

Periodic lane closures will begin Aug. 12 on U.S. 395, Muller Lane, and Elks Point Road in Douglas County as the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) resurfaces sections of the roadways. Cave Rock State Park will also temporarily close in late August for resurfacing.

Drivers should anticipate intermittent lane closures and travel delays of up to 30 minutes weekdays Aug. 12 through mid-September as the following roads are resurfaced and re-striped. Not all routes will be resurfaced at the same time, and drivers will only see intermittent lane closures on each individual route.
