Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) officials say US-95 reopened on schedule at 7:00 a.m. Thursday morning after closing for 10 days to reconstruct the highway. 

NDOT says crews worked 24-7 during the closure to excavate 65,000 cubic yards of highway base and reconstruct a 2,000 foot section of the highway. 

Officials say through May 3, traffic delays of up to 30 minutes will be in place as pilot cars detour alternating directions of traffic through the work zone and crews finalize reconstruction. Periodic lane closures and travel delays will also continue through summer for paving of additional segments of the highway.
