NDOT News Release
CARSON CITY — Detours will be in place for residential access from Alternate U.S. 395 to East Laramie and Rawhide drives in Pleasant Valley beginning this week as part of a continuing NDOT project to resurface the highway.
Alternate U.S. 395 access from Rawhide and Laramie drives will intermittently be closed June 26 through July 2 as NDOT installs cattleguards where the residential roads connect to the highway.
Only one intersection will be closed at a time, and the closures will primarily take place during daytime hours of 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. During the closures, drivers will be able to access residential areas and U.S. 395 through the adjacent street.
The cattleguards are part of a total sixteen cattleguards which will be installed, along with additional roadside fencing, in Pleasant Valley to reduce vehicle-wild horse collisions and enhance highway safety.
The improvements are part of a continuing project, which began May 16, to resurface more than 16 miles of Alternate U.S. 395 between Mt. Rose Highway and the Washoe County, Carson City line.
Drivers will continue to see single lane closures Mondays through Fridays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Alternate U.S. 395 in Pleasant and Washoe valleys. The road work is anticipated to complete in late summer.
The just over $3 million in roadway improvement by contractor Intermountain Slurry Seal will provide a smoother drive for the approximately 2,400 motorists who travel the road daily.
The interim road surface improvements will help preserve the roadway until it is fully excavated and repaved as needed in future years.
