The Nevada Department of Transportation will repave and reconstruct Pyramid Way from Nugget Way to near north McCarran Boulevard in Sparks. 

The project will resurface the roadway and improve sidewalks and pedestrian crossings on one and a half miles of Pyramid Way from Nugget Way to York Way.

The improvements will enhance Pyramid Way for the as many as 28,000 drivers who travel the road daily. The road was last fully repaved in 2010, with minor resurfacing in some areas more recently.

PROJECT IMPROVEMENTS 

• Resurface both directions of Pyramid Way between Nugget Avenue and York Way. Varying by area, between two and 18 inches of roadbed will be removed and resurfaced.
• Over one mile of roadside sidewalk will be reconstructed for enhanced pedestrian safety and mobility.
• Roadside curbs and driveway/sidewalk ramps will be improved.
• New pedestrian-activated crossings signals will be installed at the intersections of D Street, F Street, L Street and Holman Way. Known as rapid rectangular flashing beacons, the signals allow pedestrians to activate crossing signals for traffic to stop.
• Roadside lighting will also be enhanced.

TRAFFIC CONTROL 

• Lanes are slightly reduced in width and shifted in the work zone 24/7.
• Speeds are reduced through the work zone during construction hours.
• Drivers are advised to detour around the area when possible. Those who travel through the work zone can anticipate moderate travel delays during overnight hours.
• At least one access to each business will remain available during business hours, but on-street parking will not be available in work zones.
• Pedestrian detours will periodically be in place, detouring pedestrian traffic to the opposite side of the road.
• Certain intersections and directions of traffic may briefly be closed for major construction, primarily during pre-planned major construction weekends. NDOT will provide advance notice of these periodic construction closures.
• Project construction schedules will be coordinated around local community events to reduce impact to major events.
• Local residents can anticipate overnight construction noise.
• Both lanes will remain open in each direction during daytime hours.
• Lanes will be reduced to a minimum of one lane overnight.
• Construction schedule is weather permitting and subject to change.
