Meeting to highlight construction of Hwy. 28 path

An update on construction of the Highway 28 shared-use path and highway safety, accessibility and water quality enhancement project will be provided on March 30 by NDOT.

The multi-year project that started last year includes a three-plus mile shared-use path from the south end of Incline Village to Sand Harbor State Park. The public meeting will provide project updates and schedules for this summer’s construction, and offer virtual reality tours of the future path.

Last year, crews excavated approximately 10,000 cubic yards of material to construct an underpass  near the Flume Trail. Work also began on three parking areas located near the Ponderosa Ranch and Tunnel Creek Café to provide safer options for the 1 million recreationists who visit the area each year. In addition, a sewer pipe was relocated near Hidden Beach.

The next phases of construction will include initial path construction, retaining wall, and water quality and erosion control improvements.

The public meeting will be from 4-7pm at the Chateau, 955 Fairway Blvd. in Incline Village, with an informational presentation at 5:30pm.
