Pioneer Trail to be torn up for months starting May 10

Another main road through the South Shore is about to be torn up.

Starting May 10 Southwest Gas will be installing a 12 inch gas main on Pioneer Trail from the intersection of Al Tahoe Boulevard to the intersection Highway 50 at Stateline.

There will also be work on Park Avenue as well as the intersection of Highway 50 and Heavenly Village Way.

The work will involve open cut trenching as well as horizontal boring. The contractor plans to work east from Al Tahoe toward Stateline.

The work is expected to take all summer.

This project is necessary to relocate utilities for the Caltrans Highway 50 project from Trout Creek to Ski Run Boulevard.

The project will at times cause delays in traffic because of lane closures.
