Construction has started on repair work for a section of Highway 89 in the Emerald Bay area.

The work involves replacing a retaining wall and the extension of an existing barrier slab and rail.

The staging area will be at the Eagle Falls parking area alongside southbound Highway 89. Most, if not all, of the parking spots will be blocked by equipment

Work will take place from 6am-6pm Monday through Friday under reversing one-way traffic control. Motorists should expect delays of up to 20 minutes.

The project should be completed by mid-November.
