Expect delays on Highway 28

Traffic lanes on Highway 28 will be temporarily reduced in the areas of Country Club Drive and Northwood Boulevard in Incline Village. The road will periodically be reduced to a single lane, with flaggers alternating directions of traffic, between approximately 10am and 3:30pm through Jan. 15.

The lane reductions are part of a Nevada Department of Transportation project to install pedestrian and safety enhancements on the road. Pedestrian crossing warning signs equipped with rapid flashing beacons activated when pedestrians push the crossing button are being added to crosswalks in the area. Street lighting and sidewalk ramps are also being added, along with enhanced pedestrian crossing signs in advance of the crosswalks.

The project also relocates a crosswalk on Highway 28 west of Village Boulevard closer to existing bus stop and pedestrian crossing points and adds left turn lanes from Country Club Drive to Highway 28 with new traffic detection systems to help drivers most efficiently and safely get through the intersection.
