Work on Hwy. 28 to begin next week

Two stretches of Highway 28 in North Lake Tahoe will be repaved starting next week.

The work includes a five-mile section from Sierra Terrace Road in Tahoe City to Carnelian Bay and a half-mile stretch east of Kings Beach to the Nevada state line.

Work is scheduled from 6pm-6am Sunday through Friday and should be completed by the end of July. However, unexpected weather or other events could extend the project. The work will be performed under one-way traffic control with delays up to 10 minutes in each direction.

The construction contract was awarded to VSS International, Inc., with a low bid of $815,375.
