Publication Type: Closures 09/28/2022


MOSQUITO RIDGE ROAD DAYTIME CLOSURE
Due to multiple ongoing hazardous operations, requiring the use of heavy equipment from several agencies, Mosquito Ridge Road will be closed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily until further notice.
Staffed roadblocks will be located at:
• Mosquito Ridge Road at the intersection of Foresthill Road
• Elliot Ranch Road at the intersection of Foresthill Road
• Eleven Pines Road at the intersection of Wentworth Springs Road
• French Meadows Road at the intersection of Soda Springs Road

This is a HARD CLOSURE which will remain in effect each day until equipment has exited the roadway. Residents and permit holders will only be allowed access before 8 a.m. and after 6 p.m. with proof of residency or with a permit issued by the U.S Forest Service, Tahoe National Forest. Once the closure hours are in effect, anyone remaining in the area will not be able leave until after 6 p.m. Please plan accordingly. No other access will be granted. This closure is necessary to ensure public safety as numerous pieces of large, heavy equipment, and personnel on foot will be operating in this area mitigating hazard trees and repairing utility infrastructure.
