NDOT Resurfacing Sheckler Cut-Off

CARSON CITY, Nev. – Single lane closures will be in place June 4 through June 6 on Sheckler Cut-Off (State Route 117) west of Fallon as the Nevada Department of Transportation repaves sections of the road. Single lane closures will take place on Sheckler Cut-Off approximately one quarter mile south of the U.S. 50 intersection June 4 through June 6 between 7 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily. A traffic flagger will be in place to alternate directions of traffic, with travel delays of up to 15 minutes to be expected. Motorists, particularly freight truck drivers, are advised to use alternate routes. The road work schedule is subject to change. NDOT maintenance forces will be excavating and repaving rutted wheel paths on an approximate quarter-mile section of the road to provide a smoother, more even roadway surface. Later this summer, NDOT crews plan to fully resurface the entire roadway to help protect and prolong pavement life. SAFE WORK ZONE DRIVING TIPS ∙     Always buckle up. ∙     Pay attention.
