Lane closures will begin May 17 at the Mt. Rose Highway summit (State Route 431) as the Nevada Department of Transportation launches a multi-year road project to repave and enhance two mountainous Tahoe-area highways.
Beginning May 17 through late June, single-lane closures will take place Sundays at 8:00 p.m. through Fridays at noon on Mt. Rose Highway from the summit to the State Route 28 roundabout as crews install roadway conduit and improve drainage pipes. While the majority of delays will be minimal, drivers can anticipate delays of up to 30 minutes with traffic flaggers and pilot cars alternating directions of traffic through the work zone.
