Highway 89 Update

       If you have to drive into Tahoe City for anything at all, expect delays.   CalTrans crews are feverishly working to finish this season's construction project alongside the lake.  Currently, the big delay is at the Blackwood Canyon turnoff.  Paving equipment is in action complete with heavy rollers, asphalt dumps, and all the finishers.   Stops seem to take about 10 minutes in each direction, with pods of vehicles guided through the cone maze by a CalTrans pickup.   Be careful and aware as the lanes shift left and right.  Practice a little patience and watch for workers moving about the perimeter.
     Weather this weekend looks wet with rain expected.  temps are still not low enough for snow on 89, but higher elevations will get some white stuff.    Time to switch tires?
