The intersection of Alternate U.S. 395 and northern Washoe Drive in Washoe City will be closed Friday, March 24 as the Nevada Department of Transportation installs a larger drainage culvert.

Depending on weather, the intersection will be closed Friday between approximately 7 am and 5 pm. Access to Washoe Drive and surrounding roads will remain available through Viola Way. Single lane closures will also take place on northbound Alternate 395.

The previous 18-inch drainage pipe will be replaced with a larger-capacity pipe to enhance stormwater drainage from the highway roadside. Highway drainage ditches will also be cleaned.
