Fallen Leaf Lake Road to close temporarilty for Liberty Utilities project

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. - Liberty Utilities will be completing an upgrade of the primary overhead powerline and secondary connections on Fallen Leaf Road between Emigrant Road and the Fallen Leaf Marina. Due to safety concerns, this work needs to be completed during daytime hours, resulting in road closures.

Installation of the new powerlines will require Liberty Utilities to close access to Fallen Leaf Road so that they can lay out the new lines and lift them into place.

The work is planned for the following three days:

Wednesday, November 8
Thursday, November 9
Monday, November 13

Access to Fallen Leaf Road, from Emigrant Road south to the Firehouse, will be closed from:

7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. each of these days
Access will be allowed between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. each day

(Access will be provided in all cases of emergency)

During the daytime closure traffic will be held at the intersection of Tahoe Mountain and Fallen Leaf Road. Residents north of Emigrant Rd will be allowed access, as necessary. In order to eliminate/minimize congestion with Liberty moving their equipment off of Fallen Leaf Road for the 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. opening window, they respectfully ask that anyone that will need to access Fallen Leaf wait until 2 p.m. to arrive at Tahoe Mountain / Fallen Leaf intersection.
