U.S. 50 lane reductions begin June 8 in Stateline

Motorists are advised to leave extra travel time as daytime lane reductions and shifts take place the week of June 8 on the U.S. 50 South Lake Tahoe Stateline casino corridor as part of a continuing Nevada Department of Transportation highway repaving project.

New daytime lane reductions/shifts

Beginning June 8 through June 13, drivers will see additional daytime lane reductions and shifts as crews remove the aging roadway surface and place the first round of new highway pavement between the Nevada-California state line and Lake Parkway.

• U.S. 50 will remain reduced to one lane in each direction 24/7 beginning at 8 p.m. June 8 through the morning of June 13 between the Nevada-California state line and Lake Parkway 

• Work zone lane closures will routinely shift through the area 

• Access to businesses will be continuously maintained, but certain side streets and driveways will temporarily be impacted 

Continuing weekday overnight lane/ramp closures

Motorists should anticipate the following traffic changes between April through October, 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 35 mph 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 

• 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. The project will resurface just over 13 miles of U.S. 50 from the Spooner Summit Trailhead near the U.S. 50/State Route 28 intersection to the Nevada/California border at Stateline.

• Three inches of aging roadway surface will be removed and replaced with new asphalt 

• Between Spooner Summit and Glenbrook, two double yellow lines in the median will create a two-foot separation between traffic directions 

• To also help reduce cross-over crashes, centerline rumble strips will be placed between Spooner Pass and Glenbrook and other select areas 

• Certain sections of roadside guardrail will also be replaced or upgraded to concrete barrier rail 

• Existing asphalt curbs will be replaced with concrete curbing 

• Drainage improvements will reduce roadway water ponding 

• A fiber optic trunk line will be installed to expand NDOTs communications network, connect intelligent transportation systems, and provide a pathway for other communications services
