CARSON CITY, Nev. – Lane closures will take place on U.S. 50 in eastern Carson City June 28 and 29 as the Nevada Department of Transportation patches the highway surface.

Single lane closures will take place on U.S. 50 from Nichols Lane to Arrowhead Drive on the following dates: Monday, June 28: 5p.m.-midnight Tuesday, June 29: Midnight-6a.m.                               5p.m.-midnight

Speed limits will be reduced and motorists are advised to follow all road work zone signage. While most delays will be less, drivers should anticipate travel delays of up to 15 minutes.  

Small sections of aging roadway asphalt will be patched to reinforce the roadway in advance of a project to fully resurface the highway. 

In August, drivers will see additional and more extensive lane closures as approximately two miles of U.S. 50 between Asphalt Drive and Nichols Lane is resurfaced.
