Crews are conducting final touchup and cleanup after completing the two-year repaving of 13 miles of Highway 50 at Lake Tahoe, according to the Nevada Department of Transportation.

Work from Stateline to Spooner Summit began April 2025 and required approximately 98,000 tons of new asphalt, the state announced on Friday morning.

Between Spooner Summit and Glenbrook, the double line median was expanded to two sets of double yellow lines with a four-foot separation between traffic directions to reduce potential head-on crashes and enhance safety.

Between Roundhill Pines and Glenbrook crews used a new, wider striping pattern along with centerline rumble to help reduce cross-over crashes.

Installed 13 miles, or more than 220,000 feet, of Intelligent Traffic Systems underground conduit line to further connect and power roadway cameras, road-weather information systems, traffic counters, traffic flow detectors, automated chain-snow tire control signage, and more.

Work included reinforcing more than 2,000 feet of existing culvert pipes, 52 new storm drain inlets, 1,300 feet of new storm sewer culvert pipe, and approx. 38,000 feet of new roadside curb and gutter installed, helping protect Lake Tahoe clarity by channeling stormwater into designated drainage systems.

Workers also upgraded the guardrail and barrier wall to enhance safety and installed drainage improvements to reduce roadway water ponding.
