Lane/shoulder reductions in Reno-Sparks area for guardrail repair begin Monday
CARSON CITY, Nev. (KOLO) - The Nevada Department of Transportation will be closing lanes and shoulders, as well as imposing lane restrictions this week so that repairs to concrete rails and guardrails can be made.
The first of the closures will take place on I-80 near Rock Boulevard in Sparks from today until March 31. Crews will be repairing a concrete barrier that was damaged in a recent crash.
One lane will be closed in each direction of I-80 between Rock Boulevard and Prater Way between 9:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m. Speed limits will be reduced to 55 miles per hour.
Drivers are advised to find alternative routes as minor travel delays are expected.
