After several delays due to inclement weather, there will be a temporary closure of the River Access Road in Tahoe City as part of construction of the Tahoe City Transit Center. The closure will be on June 22 from 7am-6pm.

The closure will affect access to the adjacent Tahoe City Public Utility District parking lot, and will be approximately halfway between Highway 89 and the parking area.

The parking area will be unavailable during the closure, but parking will be available on the shoulder of the River Access Road on the Highway 89 side.

The Transit Center is a $7.4 million intermodal transportation hub for residents and visitors to Lake Tahoe’s west and north shores. Covering about 2.5 acres on a tract of public land west of Highway 89, the center will serve as a hub for Placer County’s Tahoe Area Regional Transit buses. The center will be situated adjacent to hiking and bike paths and provide parking for commuters and visitors to utilize buses to get around on the north and west shores of Lake Tahoe as well as improve pedestrian and bicycle mobility in and around Tahoe City.
