Fanny Bridge project to start in May

Construction on the Highway 89-Fanny Bridge Community Revitalization Project in Tahoe City is expected to start May 1, with completion later this year. 

The Central Federal Lands Highway Division of the Federal Highway Administration is the lead agency for construction, with Martin Brothers Construction doing the work.

The project includes realignment of the highway, a new bridge over the Truckee River located east of the Caltrans Maintenance Yard along Highway 89 heading into Tahoe City from Truckee, three roundabouts, complete street improvements within the project area  – new sidewalks, crosswalks, street lights, and street/trail signage, replacing Fanny Bridge with sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides, including a new bridge rail that will match the existing bridge rail, new and/or improved bike and pedestrian paths, and a Tahoe City gateway signage.
