NDOT Completes Replacement of Maine Street Bridge

CARSON CITY, Nev. – The Nevada Department of Transportation has reopened South Maine Street in Fallon following replacement of a bridge.

A southern portion of South Maine Street just north of Wildes Road (State Route 118) was closed since early December as NDOT replaced the Maine Street bridge crossing the L Line Canal.

The bridge was originally constructed in 1928 as a concrete slab bridge on timber foundations and has been replaced by a 52-footlong reinforced concrete structure. Rock was also placed in the canal to help reduce future erosion. Nearly 2,300 vehicles travel the stretch of Maine Street daily.

The approximately $900,000 project by A&K Earth Movers, Inc. is part of NDOT’s proactive bridge inspection and renovation process that has helped lead Nevada bridges to be named the nation’s best for the past five years. In 2016, NDOT replaced the nearby Harrigan Road bridge also located over the L Line Canal.
