U.S. 50 East Shore Tahoe Lane Reductions Begin April 21 for Launch of Highway Repaving

The Nevada Department of Transportation is advising Tahoe motorists to
prepare for lane reductions beginning April 21 on the U.S. 50 Tahoe East Shore as a two-season
highway repaving and improvement project launches.

Initial utility location work will begin April 21, with single lane closures Sundays at 8 p.m.
through Fridays at noon on short sections of U.S. 50 between Spooner Summit (near the State
Route 28 intersection) and the Nevada/California border at Stateline.

Then, beginning May 1, drivers will see lanes reduced on longer sections of the highway as full
roadway repaving work begins. Motorists should anticipate the following traffic changes
between April through October 2025, and again April through October 2026:

• Single lane closures will take place Sundays at 8 p.m. through Fridays at noon on
  sections of U.S. 50 between Spooner Summit to the Nevada/California border at
  Stateline.
• A minimum of one lane in each direction will stay open at all times.
• Speeds will be reduced to 35mph through work zones
• While access to businesses and residences will be continuously maintained in most areas,
  certain side streets and driveways will temporarily be impacted as roadway excavation
  takes place in the immediate area. Steel plates and earthwork will then be used after
  excavation to reestablish side street access
• Drivers can anticipate moderate travel delays through the work zone
• Lane reductions will not take place during major holidays or special events
• Construction schedule is weather permitting and subject to change
• Intermittent sidewalk closures will take place in the casino corridor, with pedestrian
  access remaining available

The resurfacing will not reduce the number of highway lanes and will not include major turn
lane or intersection reconfigurations.
