Heads up! Downtown Sparks will have overnight lane reductions and ramp closures June 9-10 from 9 p.m. - 3 a.m. so that NDOT can inspect the interstate bridges.

Attention Reno!

I-80 lanes will be reduced in Verdi and Sparks June 8-11 for routine inspection of interstate bridges.

Verdi will have daytime lane reductions June 8-11 from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. for inspection of bridges crossing the Truckee River and railroad tracks.

Downtown Sparks will have overnight lane reductions and ramp closures June 9-10 from 9 p.m. - 3 a.m.

NDOT inspects the majority of Nevada bridges, including city and county-maintained structures, every two years. Bridges with more extensive deterioration are inspected more often, while select newer bridges are inspected every four years. In fact, NDOT’s dedicated bridge inspection and rehabilitation program has helped Nevada bridges to be named among the nation’s best for the eighth consecutive year.
