NDOT names Mike Fuess as new senior staff member
CARSON CITY — The Nevada Department of Transportation has promoted Mike Fuess as District Engineer responsible for oversight of all NDOT maintenance and construction activities in northwestern Nevada.
Fuess will oversee maintenance and construction of approximately 1,350 miles of state road across northwestern Nevada, including roughly 120 miles of interstate, stretching from Lovelock to the Nevada-California border and between Hawthorne and the Oregon border.
Duties include regional oversight of NDOT construction and maintenance projects, including winter maintenance of the highest Sierra roadway pass to be kept open year-round, traffic engineering and operations as well as permitting of special uses of state roadways for events, utility work and more.
Fuess began his NDOT career in 2003 as a staff professional engineer, before being promoted to engineering services manager and district traffic engineer. Since 2013, he has served as District II Engineer for Maintenance overseeing maintenance of state roadways across northwestern Nevada.
“From traffic engineering and operations to improving roadways and removing winter snow, it truly is a team effort to keep drivers safe and connected on our area highways,” Fuess described. “I look forward to continuing to work as part of the dedicated NDOT team to keeping highway travel safe and mobile.”
Fuess is a registered professional engineer in Nevada, Idaho and Washington. He replaces former District Engineer Thor Dyson who was promoted to Assistant Director of Operations.
