TAHOE CITY, Calif. (AP) - A new bridge has opened across the Truckee River at Tahoe City, California.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Monday for the 153-foot (46-meter) bridge on the north edge of Lake Tahoe west of the Tahoe City Transit Center.
It’s part of a $35 million realignment project for California State Highway 89.
KOLO-TV reports the Federal Lands Access Program paid for 78 percent of the project. The rest came from Placer County and the Tahoe City Public Utility District.
Construction began in May 2017. The entire project, which includes replacing the 87-year-old Fanny Bridge, is expected to be finished next year.
