Weekday lane closures will begin Aug. 15 on Highway 28 south of Incline Village as the Nevada Department of Transportation starts work on a multi-year project to construct a shared use path and make other roadway safety and water quality improvements.

Through fall, drivers should anticipate periodic lane closures during the day and night in the Ponderosa Ranch and Tunnel Creek areas.

Additional construction-related lane and road closures will take place over the next two summers as construction of the pathway continues through 2018.

The project will build a three-plus mile shared-use path from the south end of Incline Village to Sand Harbor State Park. Centerline rumble strips and emergency roadside turnouts will also be added. In addition, water quality improvements such as enhanced roadside drainage inlets, sediment filtration systems and erosion control will be installed.
