Carson City area road report: South Carson Street resurfacing begins tonight

Here is the Carson City area road report for the week of July 11-17, 2016. Beginning Sunday overnight lane closures will take place on South Carson Street south of Fairview Drive as the Nevada Department of Transportation begins a project to resurface and improve the road.

Overnight lane closures will take place on South Carson Street between Fairview Drive and Overland Street Sundays through Fridays from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. One lane in each direction will always remain open, and business access will remain available.

Nearly two miles of roadway between Fairview Drive and Overland Street in Carson City will be microsurfaced for enhanced roadway smoothness and durability. The improvements will help protect and prolong pavement life by resealing the roadway with a new top layer. Certain sidewalk ramps will also be enhanced for better accessibility.

The approximately $1.2 million project by Sierra Nevada Construction is scheduled to finish in the fall. This section of Carson Street was last resurfaced in 2002. The roadway currently serves as a freeway connection for those traveling between the I-580 Carson City Freeway and south of Carson City. The improvements will help preserve the roadway surface of the segment of South Carson Street before it is moved from state ownership to Carson City ownership in 2017. An average of 44,000 vehicles daily travel the road daily.

Work will continue on the Downtown Corridor improvement project on Carson Street. Motorists can expect the following impacts this week:
— Carson Street will remain one lane in each direction.
— Robinson to the east will be closed to Plaza on Tuesday and Wednesday.
— Spear, Telegraph, Proctor and 2nd will be closed all week to the west to Curry.
— Musser west to Curry will be closed on Monday only.
— Carson St. between William and Washington will be closed Thursday and Friday.
— Ann and Sophia will also be closed Thursday and Friday.

Downtown and Third Street businesses are open during construction. For details regarding traffic impacts, please refer to the material provided in local media outlets or go to carsonproud.com for more information. These sources are updated weekly throughout the duration of the project.
