Here is the South Carson Street Project and Carson City area road report for the week of August 3-9, 2020. For information on lane restrictions and street closures related to the South Carson Street Project, please visit CarsonProud.com.
SNC has made great strides on the South Carson Street project. Carson Street between 5th and Stewart underwent major improvements on the storm drainage system. Crews have already started the curb and gutter work on the roundabout and the roundabout is taking shape. See the video presentation by John Platt, senior construction inspector, here.
Much of the surrounding roadways are nearly ready for paving. October is drawing near and it’s clear based on the construction milestones. Businesses are accessible throughout the project.
