Traffic flaggers and brief overnight through traffic closures will be in place at the Fernley roundabout beginning June 10 as the roundabout’s concrete curbing is replaced.

Traffic flaggers will be stationed at the roundabout between 8 p.m.-6 a.m. weekdays June 10 through June 21 as the aging concrete curbing encircling the center of the roundabout is replaced. Right hand turns will remain available, but traffic flaggers will periodically stop traffic traveling through the roundabout as construction equipment maneuvers to replace the concrete. Travel delays of up to 20 minutes should be anticipated if traveling through the roundabout during overnight hours. Motorists are advised to anticipate minor travel delays and traffic switches, and are reminded to travel safely through the work zone, following the guidance of traffic flaggers.

The aging concrete curbing in the center of the roundabout is deteriorating and needing replacement. Known as a truck apron, the curbing is made for freight trucks and other longer vehicles to travel over to better navigate the roundabout.

The road work is subject to change based on weather and other factors

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.
