Carson City road construction projects ramp up for the week
As summer winds down, Carson City road construction crews continue on with local projects. Here are the ongoing improvements planned for Monday through Sept. 5. As always, expect minor delays and give crews a wave and a "brake" in construction zones.
With work continuing on the Carson City freeway project, the Nevada Department of Transportation will continue to keep Koontz Lane closed between Raglan Circle and Edmonds Drive until January 2011. There will be lane closures on Carson Street during daytime hours near the intersection of Silver Oak Drive as improvements will be made to
that intersection. Minor delays are expected.
The Roop Street widening project is continuing and is expected to be completed by the end of 2010. The following impacts are expected this week:
— US 50/William Street will have intermittent lane closures at Roop Street. A single travel lane may be restricted from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for eastbound traffic or a single travel lane may be restricted from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. for westbound traffic.
— Roop Street will be closed to through traffic at Robinson Street. Local business traffic and patrons of the Carson City Community Center will have access via Roop Street but may also use William Street. Washington Street will be closed to all traffic between Roop Street and the public library driveway. Library patrons should use Stewart Street to Washington Street for access.
— The intersection of Caroline Street and Roop Street will be closed to through traffic.
— Roop Street is closed from William Street to Stewart Street through the completion of the project. Traffic may cross Roop Street at Corbett Street.
The inside lane on South Carson Street will be closed between Clearview Drive and the Spooner Junction in both directions during the night hours of 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m., due to work on the median.
The Nevada Department of Transportation is working to add a third northbound lane on US 395 between Jacks Valley Road and Lupin Drive. Work continues with single lane closures on northbound US 395 between Jacks Valley Road and Lupin Drive between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. Shoulder work will continue during the daytime hours with no impacts to traffic.
Because of water utility improvements, the following closures are expected to occur:
— Fairview Drive will be reduced to a single lane between Butti Way and 5th Street roundabout with flaggers on weekdays during daytime hours. Minor delays are expected.
— Butti Way will be closed at the intersection of Fairview Drive all week. Detours are marked.
— Hells Bells Road between Riparian Way and Marsh Road will be closed to through traffic (local traffic allowed) all week. Detours are marked.
