Fanny Bridge

Tahoe transportation officials, in cooperation with federal highway officials, are moving ahead with plans to replace the historic Fanny Bridge. The project will include the construction of a new Truckee River Bridge, relocation of the junction of Highway 89 and Highway 28, and construction of three new traffic circles. The project will also add improved amenities for people walking and riding bicycles. 

The League was instrumental in ensuring the project and its visioning were translated effectively into policy for the Placer County Area Plan. The ultimate goal is to create a pedestrian-friendly zone for the Fanny Bridge Area.

We'll continue monitor the design review to ensure a design that's in the best interest of the Lake and the community. The community will have opportunities to participate in further visioning for the Riverside District. 

Construction for the project is underway and expected to be completed in 2020. Visit the project page for more updates.
