South Lake Tahoe crews will begin preliminary work on the El Dorado Beach to Ski Run bike trail project this week.

If the weather cooperates, Sierra Nevada Construction will begin removing trees within the proposed bike trail alignment. The work may cause minor travel lane impacts on Highway 50 between Ski Run Boulevard and El Dorado Beach.

Public works employees will also continue temporary pothole patching. With the wet subsurface from high groundwater, the repairs are only temporary and will require a permanent patch when conditions are warm and dry enough.

Potholes can be reported to the department online.
