Weekend lane reductions ahead on US-50 in Dayton for concrete barrier rail repair
Lane reductions will take place Fridays through Mondays on U.S. 50 in Dayton beginning Friday, April 19 as the Nevada Department of Transportation replaces concrete barrier rail in the highway median.
U.S. 50 will be reduced to one lane in each direction from Baldwine Lane to Winters Parkway in Dayton between 9 a.m. Friday morning and 6 a.m. Monday morning on the following dates:
— April 19-22
— April 26-29
To reduce impact to Friday morning commute traffic, two lanes of traffic will remain open on westbound U.S. 50 through 9 a.m. on Friday mornings. Speed limits will be reduced to 45mph.
Periodic additional lane closures will take place during weekday non-peak travel hours.
Travel delays of up to 30 minutes can be expected through the work zone. The road work schedule is subject to change.
The work is part of an NDOT project which will replace and improve sections of roadway barrier rail and guardrail with new, higher barrier rail on the following roadways:
— Interstate 580- just north of Eastlake Boulevard in Washoe Valley
— McCarran Boulevard – near Mira Loma Drive
— USA Parkway in multiple locations, including near U.S. 50 and directly south of the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center
Slide Mountain Road (State Route 878) near Mt. Rose Ski.
The new barrier rail will replace existing guardrail and older barrier rail for enhanced safety and more efficient maintenance. The more modern, heavier barrier rail will help further reduce the potential of cross-over crashes, and in many places will provide for easier maintenance and replacement of any barrier rail hit in crashes.
