NDOT News Release
CARSON CITY — Traffic lanes will be reduced on Interstate 580 south of Reno beginning Monday, June 25 through Thursday for routine inspection of the Galena Creek Bridge.
Single lane closures will take place on I-580 approximately three miles south of the Mt. Rose Highway intersection daily between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. June 25 through June 28, with the single lane closures alternating on both directions of the interstate.
Traffic will be reduced to 55 miles per hour. The lane reductions are for the bridge’s biennial inspection of structural integrity and other bridge elements. Opened to traffic in 2012, the Galena Creek Bridge continues to rank in good condition in formal bridge inspections.
NDOT inspects the majority of bridges in the state of Nevada at least every two years for various elements of bridge structure and safety to ensure the safety of the motoring public. In fact, NDOT’s dedicated bridge inspection and rehabilitation program has helped Nevada bridges to recently be named the nation’s best for the fifth consecutive year.
