PROJECT DETAILS: NV FLAP US50(1) Round Hill Pines Access

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The NV FLAP US50(1), Round Hill Pines Access project is located approximately 0.5 miles south of Zephyr Cove, NV near Lake Tahoe. The project is proposing to widen US 50 and construct a new access road to the Round Hill Pines Beach Resort. The purpose of the project is to increase safety and improve accessibility for visitors entering and exiting the Round Hill Pines Beach Resort from US 50. The current US 50 entrance configuration into the Round Hill Pines Beach Resort has safety concerns due to the limited sight distance for vehicles traveling in both directions along US 50 and unprotected turning movements across US 50 for vehicles accessing the resort.

SCOPE OF THE WORK:  The project consists of 0.34 miles of construction on US 50 and 0.13 miles of new entrance to the Round Hill Pines Beach Resort (Round Hill Pines Access Road). US 50 work includes widening to accommodate a median left turn lane and acceleration lane, as well as a mill and overlay of existing US 50. Round Hill Pines Access Road work involves new roadway construction of the access road between the new intersection with US 50 and the Forest Service parking area. Large fills up to approximately 30 feet are anticipated near the intersection of US 50 and the Round Hill Pines Access Road. Other improvements include roadway drainage improvements, signing, and striping.
