Lane closures on Mt. Rose Highway as NDOT repairs issues recently found

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) will be working on the Mt. Rose Highway (SR431) to address issues found on the lower part of the highway Thursday-Saturday.

One lane will be closed on westbound Mt. Rose Highway near Thompson Lane between 6:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Oct. 20-22. Drivers will still be able to travel both directions of the highway. Motorists should expect minor travel delays if traveling westbound.

A depression of approximately four inches was found near the roadway shoulder last month. As soon as it was located, NDOT filled and temporarily repaved the area with an asphalt patch for driver safety. This week, crews will excavate and permanently replace the area of erosion.

The construction schedule is subject to change.
