Nighttime lane and shoulder closures will take place from 7p.m. to 6a.m. weekdays Oct. 9 through December on eastbound U.S. 50 between North Lompa Lane and Airport Road in eastern Carson City. Business access will remain available, and atleast one lane in each direction of the highway will remain open. While most travel delays will be minor, drivers should allow extra travel time if driving in the area. Pedestrians will be able to detour to the north side of the highway using existing crosswalks.
The existing asphalt path on the southern side of U.S. 50 between North Lompa Lane and Airport Road will be reconstructed as a concrete shared use pathway featuring improved business access ramps. The new 10-foot wide path will enhance access and safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and others traveling between residential areas and local businesses in eastern Carson City. 
The path is part of NDOT’s efforts to upgrade state roadways to current Americans with Disabilities Act requirements; improving accessibility for all. In 2021, NDOT resurfaced approximately two miles of this section of U.S. 50 between Asphalt Drive and Nichols Lane. NDOT also previously installed an electronic flashing pedestrian crossing beacons on U.S. 50 near Silver State Street, allowing pedestrians to activate the signs to help stop traffic to more safely cross the highway.
