U.S. Highway 50 to Close This Weekend for Blasting Operations

From the Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County: 

Pembroke Drive will be closing to all traffic beginning Monday, Oct. 31. Mira Loma Drive will remain open as an alternate route. The closure will last about two months and is being implemented in order to move a water line as work continues on the SouthEast Connector project. No one’s water service will be turned off. It was necessary to wait until colder months when there is less demand on the water system to move the line. The closure will be between the Rosewood Lakes Golf Course Clubhouse to east of the creek near Hidden Valley. Access for emergency services will be maintained via Mira Loma Drive. Everyone is encouraged to sign up for traffic control and project updates at: www.southeastconnector.com.

This work will reduce the time needed for a second planned closure, which is tentatively scheduled for summer 2017.
