Lane closures for resurfacing of Wildes Road in Fallon

Lane closures and travel delays will be in place on Wildes Road (State Route 118) in Fallon Aug.1-3 as the Nevada Department of Transportation resurfaces the roadway.

Travel delays of up to 30 minutes should be expected Aug.1-3 between 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. daily on Wildes Road from Harrigan Road to U.S. 50 as pilot cars alternate directions of traffic through the work zone.                        

Brief delays of access to side streets and driveways may occur as paving equipment passes through the area.

Motorists are advised to plan alternate routes through the area when possible.

The road work schedule is subject to change.     

Known as a chip seal, the roadways will be resurfaced with crushed aggregate rock and asphalt to help protect and prolong pavement life. Often considered the best value for road maintenance dollar, chip seals also restore roadway friction and aesthetics.
