Coverage details

Covers SR-89 from Truckee and SR-267 / SR-28 via Kings Beach — some nearby roads aren't monitored. See what's included.

This status covers two known Tahoe City access paths: SR-89 from the Placer / Nevada county line south of Truckee to the SR-28 junction in Tahoe City, and SR-267 from the I-80 junction in Truckee over Brockway Summit to the SR-28 junction in Kings Beach, then SR-28 to Tahoe City.

I-80 to Truckee is covered on the Truckee and I-80 pages. Tahoe City's verdict stops at the SR-89 / SR-28 junction; Homewood and Granlibakken use separate destination pages whose modeled SR-89 connectors begin there, and neither expands the Tahoe City verdict. SR-89 south of Homewood through Tahoma and Emerald Bay remains outside these northern West Shore verdicts. Tahoe City's SR-28 verdict begins at Kings Beach; route-level SR-28 reporting continues east to the Nevada state line. NV-28 and Mount Rose Highway beyond California aren't monitored and must be verified separately.

Conditions can change quickly in the mountains. This page never replaces chain requirements, closures, or official Caltrans guidance. This boundary supports no Tahoe City claim south of the SR-89 / SR-28 junction and no claim about Emerald Bay, NV-28, Mount Rose Highway, or roads beyond the modeled approaches. Neither surface makes a safe-to-drive or all-clear claim.
