The Nevada Department of Transportation has substantially completed a project to resurface U.S. 50 and upgrade sidewalks for enhanced traffic safety and mobility in downtown Fallon.

The periodic lane, shoulder, and sidewalk closures which have been in place since March are now over, although drivers will see very brief closures on U.S. 50 near Sherman Street as signal poles and mast arms are installed in coming months.
As part of the project, NDOT repaved two miles of U.S. 50 from Allen Street to the east of Sherman Street, and improved existing sidewalks and sidewalk ramps, to enhance roadway surface and accessibility. Previously, one lane of eastbound U.S. 50 transitioned to a right-turn lane at Sherman Street. The turn lane has been transitioned to a through/right turn lane that extends 500 feet east of Sherman Street for additional mobility through the intersection.
In 2020, NDOT also improved sidewalks and ramps on nearly two miles of nearby U.S. 95 in Fallon to enhance roadway connectivity, accessibility, and safety.
