NDOT Announces Single Lane Closures in Silver Springs

NDOT Announces Single Lane Closures in Silver Springs
NDOT ANNOUNCES SINGLE LANE CLOSURES ON
ALTERNATE U.S. 95 IN SILVER SPRINGS  
CARSON CITY, Nev. – Single lane closures will take place next Tuesday, March 19 on Alternate U.S. 50/Alternate U.S. 95 in Silver Springs as part of Nevada Department of Transportation highway improvements. Alternate U.S. 95 (also known as Alternate U.S. 50) just north of the U.S. 50 intersection in Silver Springs will be reduced to a single lane March 19 between 7 a.m.-5 p.m. Drivers should expect minor travel delays as traffic flaggers direct vehicle traffic through the single lane closure. Motorists will continue to see brief, intermittent single lane closures on Alternate U.S. 95 in the coming months. The Alternate U.S. 95 truck climbing lane just north of the U.S. 50 junction is being lengthened as part of an NDOT project to improve the U.S. 50 intersection and widen U.S. 50 from a two-lane to a four-lane divided highway between Silver Springs and Roy’s Road in Stagecoach. The nearly ten miles of highway to be widened is traveled by approximately 6,000 drivers daily. A traffic roundabout will replace the existing flashing traffic signal at the U.S. 50 and Alternate U.S. 95 junction in Silver Springs. The concrete roundabout will make intersection travel safer and quicker, with free right turns between U.S. 50 and southern Alternate U.S. 95. Project updates are available at nevadadot.com or by calling (775) 888-7000.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
