Hwy. 28 to be off-limits 3 nights

Highway 28 between Ponderosa Ranch Road in Incline Village and Highway 50 at Spooner Summit will be closed June 18-20 from 9pm to 5am.

This is so a contractor working for the Nevada Department of Transportation can put down a flush seal to preserve the life of the road.

“If we were doing it during the day, traffic control would be for two weeks and there would be huge lines of traffic,” NDOT spokesman Scott MacGruder told Lake Tahoe News.

People who live along Highway 28 will be allowed to access their homes.

The Mount Rose Highway to Interstate 580 south to Highway 50 is the suggested route for getting to Carson City for those usually use Highway 28.
