The Nevada Department of Transportation this week started to construct pedestrian and safety enhancements on Highway 28 in Incline Village.

The project will relocate a crosswalk on Highway 28 west of Village Boulevard closer to existing bus stop and pedestrian crossing points. The crosswalk east of Village Boulevard will remain in place to serve an existing bus stop. Both crosswalks will be enhanced with pedestrian crossing warning signs equipped with rapid flashing beacons activated when pedestrians push the crossing button.

Street lighting and sidewalk ramps will be added, along with enhanced pedestrian crossing signs in advance of the crosswalks.

Left turn lanes from Country Club Drive to Highway 28 will also be installed with new traffic detection systems to help drivers most efficiently and safely get through the intersection.

Construction is projected to complete by the end of fall. Drivers should expect minor, intermittent travel delays during construction.
