A safer ride. ICYMI: we’re installing cattleguards and fencing to reduce vehicle-horse collisions on U.S. 50 in the Dayton area. Here’s what to expect during construction: @LYONOEM @NVStatePolice_N

We are working to divert water flow away from U.S. 395 in the Topaz Lake area, but the highway remains closed SR 208 to Leviathan Mine Rd in @CountyofDouglas . It is a reminder of the potential of roadway ponding/flooding across the region. Avoid unnecessary travel today! @NWSReno

Reminder: as strong winds/freezing temps create extreme driving conditions, pilot cars are piloting vehicles on I-580 in Washoe Valley (Bowers Mansion to East Lake Blvd). Avoid area if possible. If you must travel, expect delays and remember chains or snow tires are required.

All about safety. Yesterday, we scaled the southern end of the U.S. 50 Cave Rock tunnel #Tahoe and removed rock so it couldn’t potentially come loose during upcoming winter weather. It’s all about keeping you safe! @NHPNorthernComm @CountyofDouglas @DouglasSheriff @tahoeroads

❄The snow doesn’t stop, so we don’t stop. With the next storm on the horizon, we’re not taking a break. This morning, we’re clearing snow from the parking area at the Mt. Rose Highway summit. Keep updated on highway conditions:

US 395 now fully open in @CountyofDouglas following @Tamarack_Fire . Thanks to all first responders, including our highway maintenance staff who replaced fire-damaged guardrail directly following the blaze. Drive safely and give room for fire trucks in area. @RecordCourierNV

Can you be the first to name this iconic northern Nevada bridge? Bonus points for the interstate name!

Don’t look down! Take a sneak peek at one of our routine bridge inspections. Could you handle the height? 👀 Bridge inspections like this are one reason Nevada bridges have been ranked the nation’s best eight years in a row!
