The Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County is inviting people to attend one of two open houses on Tuesday, March 10, to learn about proposed alternatives for a new corridor between Reno/Sparks and the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center (TRIC).
The sessions are scheduled to offer the same information shared at a December 2025 public meeting, along with summaries of public comments and frequently asked questions received so far.
The Northeast Connector study explores a potential new route aimed at improving connectivity and easing congestion along I-80. Officials say the corridor would provide an alternate option for drivers traveling between the region and the industrial center.
The TRIC open house runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Storey County TRI Training Room, 1705 Peru Drive, McCarran.
The Spanish Springs open house is set for 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Mendive Middle School, 1900 Whitewood Drive, Sparks.
Community members are encouraged to take the project survey, available online through March 31, 2026, at rtcwashoe.com/northeast-connector. Hard copy surveys can be requested by emailing Bryan Byrne, P.E., at bbyrne@rtcwashoe.com.
All responses will be part of the public record, subject to disclosure under state law.
