Roadwork for a Cleaner Lake

Did you know the road work happening around Lake Tahoe isn’t just for the roads? Caltrans is building new storm drain systems and paving some shoulders to protect water quality. The new drainage system will capture stormwater runoff and filter out dirt, oil and litter before it gets to the lake.

Some traffic delays are likely so please allow a few extra minutes. It’s a small price to pay to protect Lake Tahoe for decades to come.
