Document Description
Tahoe-Pyramid Bikeway is a bi-state 116 mile-trail following the Truckee River from Lake Tahoe to Pyramid Lake. The California portion covered under this environmental document is 10 miles long, from Hirschdale to the Nevada State line, lying mostly on I-80 right-of-way. The trail will re-use old Highway 40 remnants as much as possible, and will require construction of new trailer for 3.3 to 4.8 miles. Where new trail construction is required, it will be 8-12 ft wide, surfaced with compacted soil and gravel (unpaved) and will include retaining walls or rip-rap for side-slope stabilization where needed. In one narrow point, a cantilever or bridge alongside I-80 will be needed for 100 ft, plus a crossing of I-80 by bridge or tunnel. Significantly, Caltrans has endorsed the project in concept, because it eventually may get bicycles off I-80.
