The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Granite Construction will be switching the location of the I-80 Eastbound ramps in the downtown area from Keystone Avenue to the Spaghetti Bowl. The following ramps will be moved to the new concrete pavement beginning Sunday evening, June 2th:
- I-80 Eastbound Keystone Avenue on-ramp
- I-80 Eastbound Virginia Street off-ramp
- I-80 Eastbound to US 395 Southbound and Northbound ramps
- US 395 Northbound to I-80 Eastbound on-ramp
The changes are needed to complete the concrete paving on I-80 Eastbound from Keystone Avenue to Vista Boulevard.
To help drivers navigate the construction the design-build team recommends the following driver tips:
- Pay Attention. There are new lane configurations between Keystone Avenue and Fourth Street. Watch for merging traffic.
- Through Traffic Stay Left. Motorists driving east or west on I-80 should stay in the left lane.
- Slow Down. The speed limit is 55 MPH and fines are doubled in work zones. NHP will be strictly enforcing the speed limit.
The estimated $72 million I-80 Design-Build Project includes pavement rehabilitation on approximately 40-year-old concrete between Keystone Avenue and Fourth Street, as well as installing Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), signing and striping, drainage and ramp improvements and landscaping and aesthetics enhancements on I-80 between Robb Drive and Vista Boulevard. The project is expected to complete in Fall 2012. Additional project information is available at KeepRenoSparksMoving.com, by phone at (775) 352-5444 or by e-mail at info@KeepRenoSparksMoving.com.
