Work on the Dianne Feinstein West Shore Tahoe Trail Reconstruction Project resumes this week.
Originally built in the 1970s, the West Shore Trail has benefitted from TCPUD's ongoing preventative maintenance, but after 50 years, a full reconstruction is necessary to fix widespread cracking, pavement failure, and structural issues that can no longer be addressed through routine maintenance.
This $3.5 million project will reconstruct 1.4 miles of trail between Tahoe City and Sunnyside, including repaving, widening select sections from eight feet to nine feet where feasible, and adding new safety improvements such as signage, striping, railings, and slope adjustments.
Funding for the project includes $2.3 million in grants from the North Tahoe Community Alliance TOT-TBID Dollars at Work Program and $1.7 million from TCPUD’s General Fund, which is primarily supported by local property tax revenue.
Construction is scheduled to continue through October 2026. Trail users should expect periodic closures and detours during active work. No construction will occur on weekends, Fridays in July and August, or from June 27 through July 12.
