Caltrans and crews have taken over during business hours, keeping one lane open from 8-5pm. Not much we locals can do but grin and bear it. Be careful and don't try any wild and crazy moves to avoid a 5-10 minute wait. Not worth it.
Traffic seems light for mid July, but it's hard to figure given the traffic stops between Tahoma and Tahoe City. The mayor took a nice morning stroll through Sugar Pine Pt. Park the other morning and enjoyed the tranquility of sunrise on the West Shore. Lots of new wash rocks were evident as the lake level continues to drop. Looking out toward the lake from Fanny Bridge, one can see that it won't belong before the outlet of the lake, Truckee River, will cease to have any runoff. Then the rafters will count their profits and go home for the season, again.
All's quiet at the Norfolk Hotel, as predicted. Maybe in a month or so, the crews will return.
Enjoy July
