Major lane reductions and turn closures will take place on State Route 445 (Pyramid Highway) starting Friday at 9 p.m. until Monday at 5 a.m. as part of a two-year Nevada Department of Transportation project to widen and enhance two and a half miles of the highway.
Lanes will be reduced on Pyramid Highway between Los Altos Parkway and Golden View Drive on the following weekends as crews install underground drainage facilities across the highway.
Drivers can also expect:
- Pyramid Highway reduced to a minimum of one lane in each direction
- Speed limits reduced to 35 mph
- Certain left turns temporarily closed, including left turns from southbound Pyramid Highway to Los Altos Parkway and from Sparks Boulevard to Pyramid Highway
Outside of this major construction weekend, drivers should expect the following traffic control on Pyramid Highway between Queen Way and Golden View Drive through summer 2025:
- Lanes slightly reduced in width and shifted through the work zone 24/7
- Lanes reduced to one lane overnight primarily between 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. Sunday evenings through Friday mornings
- Travel delays of up to 30 minutes through the work zone
- Speed limits reduced through the work zone 24/7
- Pedestrian and bicycle access will remain available, with marked pedestrian detours in place in certain sections of the work zone
- Access is not available to the BLM recreation area on the west side of the highway during construction.
- Periodic overnight single lane closures will take place on cross streets in the area, such as Disc Drive and Los Altos Parkway
Construction schedule is weather permitting and subject to change.
