The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has announced there will be overnight lane closures along U.S. 50 from Stateline to Spooner Summit beginning June 6 and going into early fall. The closures will happen periodically between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. on weekdays for utility work.
Crews will work on small sections of the highway at a time. One lane in each direction will remain open as they work. Business and residential access will remain available. Motorists should anticipate minor traffic delays.
Crews will be potholing to identify utility line depths for the final engineering design of a future highway improvement project. NDOT will launch the project to repave and rehabilitate approximately 13 miles of U.S. 50 between Stateline and Spooner summit within the next four years. The project will repave the existing highway, as well as enhance drainage, accessibility, and more for a smoother and safer roadway.
In 2022, NDOT will install a traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. 50 and Warrior Way. By controlling all directions of travel, the signal will help provide designated and safer access to and from the highway. The new entrance/exit for Round Hill Pines will also be installed next year.
