Hwy. 89-Fanny Bridge realignment to be discussed

Highway 89-Fanny Bridge will be the focus of a Dec. 4 meeting.

There will be an overview and update on the environmental document, design elements, and next steps for this revitalization project in Tahoe City.

The meeting is being hosted by the Tahoe Transportation District at Granlibakken Resort from 5-6:30pm.

The project intends to improve the safety of vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist mobility at the Tahoe City Y, increase emergency access and egress; resolve structural integrity of 86-year-old Fanny Bridge; assist in alleviating traffic back-ups; and create a vibrant and walkable commercial area.

The design is scheduled to be complete in September 2015. Construction could begin in May 2016.

Specific questions, inquiries and suggestions may be directed to Margaret Skillicorn at suggestions@fannybridge.org or 775.846.2381.
