Beginning Saturday, April 28, drivers will see changes on the USA Parkway as the Nevada Department of Transportation installs temporary traffic signals near Electric Avenue before construction of a permanent signal begins.

The westbound I-80 off-ramp to USA Parkway will be closed between approximately 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, April 28 for installation of a temporary traffic signal. A nearby detour will be available via the Patrick interchange and Waltham Way.

Also between approximately 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday, April 28, USA Parkway will be reduced to one lane in each direction near Waltham Way as a temporary traffic signal is installed at USA Parkway and Waltham Way.

The road work is subject to change based on weather.

Following Saturday’s construction, drivers will see the following travel changes on USA Parkway:

Temporary Traffic Signal at USA Parkway and Waltham Way

* A temporary traffic signal will be placed on USA Parkway at the intersection of Waltham Way.

Temporary Traffic Signal at Top of Westbound I-80 Off-Ramp to USA Parkway

* Interim traffic signals will be placed where northbound USA Parkway intersects with the I-80 westbound off-ramp to USA Parkway.

The signal will provide designated turns for traffic turning from I-80 westbound to USA Parkway and reduce the potential of traffic back-ups on to the interstate. A permanent traffic signal is planned for installation next year.

Left-Hand Turn Closure Between USA Parkway and East Britain Way/Electric Avenue

* No through traffic or left-hand turns will be permitted from East Britain Way (western side of Electric Avenue) across southbound USA Parkway. Right-hand turns will be available, with nearby detour via Waltham Way for rerouting onto northbound USA Parkway.

* No through traffic or left-hand turns will be permitted from Electric Avenue across northbound USA Parkway. Right-hand turns will be available, with nearby detour via Denmark Drive.

Reduced Speed Limit

Reduced speed limits of 35 mph will be in place on both directions of USA Parkway near Electric Avenue. The speed reductions will help enhance traffic safety. Motorists are advised to drive safely and attentively, yielding and following all traffic guidance from roadway signage and signals.

COMING SOON: Lane Reductions Begin in May for Permanent Traffic Signal Installation

Beginning in mid May, drivers will see overnight and weekend lane reductions on USA Parkway near Electric Avenue as NDOT begins construction of a permanent four-way traffic signal at the intersection. In addition to the new signal, two left turn lanes will be installed from southbound USA Parkway to eastbound Electric Avenue. A dedicated merge lane will also be constructed allowing traffic to more safely merge from Electric Avenue onto northbound USA Parkway.

The signal and turn lanes will allow for designated and safer turns for heavy commute traffic turning across USA Parkway to warehous

e and manufacturing centers on Electric Avenue. Roadway lighting will also be improved. Construction is anticipated to complete this fall. State road project information is available at nevadadot.com or by dialing (775) 888-7000.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
