Single lane closures this Saturday along South Stewart Street in Carson City
Single lane closures will take place on South Stewart Street in Carson City this Saturday, June 15 as the Nevada Department of Transportation resurfaces the roadway as part of a project to install pedestrian safety improvements.
Since the project began on May 6, intermittent lane, roadway shoulder and sidewalk closures have taken place, primarily during daytime hours of 7 am-3:30 pm Mondays through Fridays, as sidewalk and other pedestrian safety improvements have been installed.
A Saturday single lane closure will take place on both directions of South Stewart Street between Little Lane and South Carson Street from 7 am-3:30 pm June 15 as NDOT resurfaces the southern end of South Stewart Street as a partnered continuation of a Carson City project to repave other sections of South Stewart Street.
The resurfacing is part of the following pedestrian safety improvements which are being installed on South Stewart Street:
South Stewart Street at Little Lane
— The sidewalk previously located on the north side of the intersection is being moved to southern side of the intersection.
— Electronic flashing pedestrian crossing beacons will soon be activated on South Stewart Street at Little Lane, allowing pedestrians to activate the signs to help stop traffic as they cross.
— Overhead LED street lighting and sidewalk ramps are being installed in certain pedestrian crossing areas for enhanced accessibility and visibility.
South Stewart Street near Wright Way
— A new crosswalk and electronic flashing pedestrian crossing beacons are being installed on South Stewart Street mid-block between Little Lane and Wright Way, allowing pedestrians to activate the signs to help stop traffic as they cross.
— Concrete pedestrian refuges will be completed in the middle of the roadway to serve as an additional safety refuge for crossing pedestrians.
— Overhead LED street lighting and sidewalk ramps will be installed in certain pedestrian crossing areas for enhanced accessibility and visibility.
The improvements by contractor Sierra Nevada Construction, Inc. will help enhance safety for pedestrians traveling across the highway between residences and businesses and restaurants.
NDOT is also installing similar pedestrian safety enhancements on U.S. 50 in Carson City, Gardnerville and Dayton. The improvements are part of the approximately $10 million in state highway funds NDOT dedicates to pedestrian safety improvements every year. Additionally, NDOT dedicates approximately $21 million annually in federal highway safety funds to roadway safety projects and programs.
