Submitted by editor on Thu, 06/11/2015 - 9:03am
The Nevada Department of Transportation will begin overnight work Sunday, June 14 to apply a top sealant coating to U.S. 50 between Mound House and Silver Springs.
From Sunday through Thursday, June 18, one lane will be closed in each direction of U.S. 50 approximately between the State Route 342 junction and Chaves Road. The following week, June 21 through June 25, one lane will be closed in each direction from approximately Stagecoach to the Highway 50 and Highway 95A Silver Springs junction.
All of the work will take place during overnight hours, with one lane closed in each direction between approximately 8 p.m. and 5 a.m. All lanes will remain open during daytime hours.
The flush seal being applied to Highway 50 consists of less than an inch of oil to help reseal and rejuvenate the asphalt for longer roadway life. Motorists are advised to drive at posted construction speed limits, or slower as necessary for conditions.
