Caltrans will be sweeping and making final preparations for the roadway prior to the Death Ride and would like to thank the traveling public and cyclists for their patience during construction this past week.
For the 43rd Annual Death Ride, Caltrans will have full highway closures in place on State Route 89 (SR-89) from Markleeville to the SR-89/SR-4 junction from 5:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and on Ebbetts Pass/SR-4 from Markleeville to Lake Alpine from 5:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Caltrans will have changeable message signs in place alerting motorists of the highway closures and ask the traveling public to avoid these highway corridors over the weekend and use alternate routes whenever possible.
