Road construction to widen the northbound lanes of Highway 395 north of Jacks Valley Road begins 7 a.m. today, and will continue Monday through Friday until the end of October.

Work will be ongoing 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. between Jacks Valley Road and where the road widens to three lanes just north of Clear Creek.

Construction will be along the shoulder and include grading and paving. The speed limit in the construction zone will be 45 mph.

Starting 8 p.m. Tuesday, road work in the travel lanes will begin at night, reducing the highway down to one lane. That work will be done by May 21.

Also expect to run into road work that will reduce Kingsbury Grade to one lane on the Tahoe side. There will be flaggers in place while construction is done in the driving lane. Expect a travel delay of up to 20 minutes 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. through Friday.
