Traffic detours will be in place this weekend on the USA Parkway to Interstate 80 ramps as part of a Nevada Department of Transportation project to restripe the ramps for enhanced traffic safety and flow.
From 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 22 through 6 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 24, the following detours and lane reductions will take place:
The closures are to install a cattleguard on the USA Parkway. NDOT is also making additional improvements to the I-80 eastbound to southbound USA Parkway off-ramp. The interstate ramp will be resurfaced and restriped to provide two free right turn lanes, offering quicker and safer turns for commuters traveling from Reno/Sparks to USA Parkway and reducing potential traffic delays and back-ups onto the interstate. An additional travel lane will also be added to southbound USA Parkway between I-80 and Electric Avenue. The approximately $600,000 in improvements by contractor Q & D Construction is expected to complete this fall.
As traffic increases with enhanced development at the Reno-Tahoe Industrial Center and the upcoming extension of the USA Parkway to U.S. 50, NDOT is also evaluating potential regional interstate improvements in future years.

Add stoplights and a sign to show people coming east that there are two separate lanes. They think they need to merge when they don't.
