In Dayton, the Nevada Department of Transportation continues work through May on a safety enhancement project near the Smith’s Shopping Center. The project will install raised turn islands in the median of U.S. 50 at three shopping center entrances: Retail Road, Pinecone Road and the main entrance to the Smith’s shopping center.
The raised medians will provide protected turn pockets for traffic to enter and exit. For enhanced safety, the left turn out of the middle shopping center entrance will be eliminated. River Road traffic will also be limited to right in and right out only. Left turns will continue to be available from Pinecone and Retail roads. In addition, roadway shoulders will be widened on both sides of U.S. 50 to allow for longer deceleration lanes, providing safer right hand turns.
Single lane closures will take place during construction, with minor travel delays possible. Construction is scheduled to complete before the end of May.
