Upcoming Road Improvements on U.S. 95

Submitted courtesy of NDOT public information officer, Meg Ragonese -- Beginning in late March, periodic roadway shoulder, sidewalk and single lane closures will take place on U.S. 95 and North Taylor Street through the heart of Fallon as the Nevada Department of Transportation upgrades existing sidewalks and pedestrian facilities for enhanced traffic safety and mobility. Intermittent single lane, shoulder and sidewalk closures will take place on U.S. 95 between Sheckler Road and Keddie Street, with minor travel delays to be expected. While work will take place on sidewalks and driveways, at least one access to all businesses and residences will be maintained during construction. NDOT will enhance existing sidewalks and sidewalk ramps on nearly two miles of U.S. 95 and North Taylor Street through the heart of Fallon to provide additional roadway connectivity, accessibility and safety. The improvements are part of the up to $5 million in state highway funds NDOT dedicates every year to Americans with Disabilities Act-related improvements to make state roadways more accessible for all.       Never miss a meeting or community event – keep an eye on the community calendar at https://www.thefallonpost.org/events/ If you like what we’re doing, please support our effort to provide local, independent news and contribute to The Fallon Post, your online news source for all things Fallon.
