Multiple trails, Curry at Rhodes Street in Carson City closed due to flooding
Carson City Public Works crews are mitigating flood prone areas Tuesday and will address concerns accordingly. The storm drain system is operating at capacity, resulting in water in roadways and localized intersection flooding. When the storm drains are at maximum capacity water can be observed flowing outwardly.
This is a normal response. All personnel are at their full ability assisting citizens.
Carson City Public Works encourages residents to visit www.carson.org to stay up-to-date on the weather, road closures, trail/path closures, sandbag locations and resources that are deployed across the city. All official public information that is released will be posted to the flood site.
A Flood Hotline has been designated for flood related reporting and questions, which are not life-threatening. The number is (775) 887-2355 and officials ask the public to use this number instead of 9-1-1 for non-emergency flood calls.
Please be watchful of City crews working as they continue to mitigate and assess storm damage. The following roads are closed:
• Rhodes Street is closed from Carson Street to Curry Street.
The following parks and trails are closed:
• Linear Ditch Trail from Airport Road to Saliman Road
• Mexican Ditch Trail south of Silver Saddle Ranch
• Moffit open space trail between Lepire Drive and Hells Bells Road
• Long Ranch open space trails near the creek
• Morgan Mill access and road
• Blackwell Park
• Mayor’s Park
• Mills Park (Roop Street entrance only may be used. The Aquatics Facility and the
Community Center are open.)
Please use extreme caution throughout the City’s trail systems. Saturated soils have washed out many trails and contributed to erosion. Safety concerns regarding parks, trails and open space should be called into: (775) 887-2262.
We encourage drivers to exercise caution as road conditions can become dangerous.
