City, NDOT Developing Corridor Action Plans 

City, NDOT Developing Corridor Action Plans 
 

 


  1. Main Street between Interstate 80 Exit 46 and Exit 48 (U.S. 50 Alternate). This corridor includes the roundabout. Currently, the Main Street Roundabout is critical in the transportation network due to its location between residential areas and I-80, as well as the commuter, freight, and commercial traffic accessing this intersection. The City of Fernley's 2020 Transportation Master Plan identified the roundabout as LOS C, Main Street between I-80 (Exit 46) and the roundabout as LOS D, and U.S. 50 Alternate between I-80 (Exit 48) and the roundabout as LOS E.



  1. Corridor Two: Farm District Road (State Route 828)
     




  1. From the Main Street and U.S. 95 Alternate signalized intersection south to Royal Oaks Drive, this section of the road begins downtown and extends just south of Fernley High School. U.S. 95 Alternate is an NDOT-maintained two-lane road with various deceleration and acceleration lanes and a speed limit ranging from 25 to 55 mph within the 2.25-mile corridor.


The study aims to develop three Corridor Action Plans to provide decision-makers with a guide that defines future transportation needs along the corridors, reduces traffic delays, improves connectivity, and enhances safety. The plans will offer participating agencies workable and cost-effective transportation enhancements to address both interim and long-term needs.

HagenComment text: Maybe there is more to this story than what is reported, but it seems to me that the businesses that are causing this problem ought to be paying for this, or at least a major portion of it. Why does the County have to pay the whole bill? Just my opinion.Comment publication date: 5/7/26, 10:26 AMComment source: Storey County, Tesla partner to extend I-80 Patrick on-rampComment author: Alan ReederComment text: Great guy, laughed easily, had fun with his students, enjoyed our time together at FHS!Comment publication date: 4/23/26, 10:23 PMComment source: Howard David JacksonComment author: Jack & Nancy CookComment text: Wonderful man.
