Beginning May 1, single lane closures will take place on Highway 28 south of Incline Village as the Nevada Department of Transportation launches the second season of shared-use path construction.

Construction will start on the pathway and retaining walls, and roadside water quality and erosion control improvements will be built to help preserve the quality of storm water entering Lake Tahoe.

Beginning May 1 through late fall, daytime single lane closures will take place on Highway 28 from the southern end of Incline Village to three miles south of Sand Harbor State Park. Nighttime single lane closures are planned between Hidden Beach to three miles south of Sand Harbor State Park-. Most of the lane closures will take place Sunday night through Friday at noon, although weekend closures may occur during off-peak season. Anticipate 20 to 30-minute travel delays. 

Short-duration full road closures may periodically take place during off peak season (May through early-June; late-August/early September through Oct. 15). Advance notice will be provided. The Memorial Point roadside parking lot and restroom will be closed for the season for construction staging. Beach and trail access between Lakeshore Boulevard and Sand Harbor State Park may be limited or closed during construction. For safety, travelers are encouraged not to access beaches or trails through the construction zones.

Roadside parking from Ponderosa Ranch Road to approximately three-plus miles south of Sand Harbor State Park will not be allowed during construction. Officials encourage travelers to pay special attention to no parking/tow-away zones throughout the project area as towing will be enforced in no parking zones.

The project = is anticipated to complete as early as the end of 2018, but may extend into 2019.
