Update: 4th of July Highway Closure

The City of South Lake Tahoe would like to make local business owners aware of an important traffic change associated with this year’s 4th of July Parade.

On Saturday, July 4, U.S. Highway 50 will be fully closed along the parade route from approximately 8:45 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. This full closure, approved by CalTrans, is new this year and is being implemented to improve safety for parade participants and spectators.

U.S. Highway 50 will be closed between the intersections of Al Tahoe Boulevard and Ski Run Boulevard. During the closure, traffic will be detoured as follows:

• Westbound traffic: Al Tahoe Boulevard to Pioneer Trail
• Eastbound traffic: Pioneer Trail to Al Tahoe Boulevard

To accommodate the detour pattern, the parade route has changed this year and will now end at Lyons Avenue.

In addition to the highway closure, Ski Run Blvd. will be closed to traffic from Lake Tahoe Blvd (Hwy 50) to Tamarack Ave starting at 7:00 AM. Ski Run Blvd. will open again at approximately 10:00 AM.

Additional parade information is available at cityofslt.gov/4thofjulyparade

A note from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife

With the arrival of warmer weather, black bears will be emerging from winter dens and actively searching for food. This includes mother bears with new cubs of the year and, quite often, their yearling offspring, which were born the year before. After months without eating, adult bears and yearlings are hungry and especially motivated by strong smells. The cubs, meanwhile, will learn everything from their mother, including where to find food and what’s safe to eat. With more hungry bears on the landscape, it’s especially important to remain vigilant in keeping bears from accessing human-sourced food and garbage. Secure trash in bear-resistant containers, remove bird feeders, and keep outdoor grills and cooking areas clean. Preventing bears from becoming dependent on human-sourced food keeps them wild and largely free from conflict. CDFW provides many best practices on preventing human-bear conflicts here.
