Mark IV Capital has signed the contracts for construction of the rail line into the Victory
Logistics District and for construction of Gavin Road, Mark IV Capital Senior Vice President
Rick Nelson said last week.
In addition, he said discussions have begun with the other property owners along Nevada Pacific
Parkway to acquire the Right of Way needed to widen the road as part of the project to extend the
road from Interstate 80 to U.S. Highway 50A.
The industrial track lead will extend north from the current Union Pacific Main Line to Gavin
Road, then split off into four separate spurs serving the individual parcels. Nelson expects that
work to take a little more than a year.
“We expect to do a final spike ceremony in February of 2027,” Nelson said.
Currently a gravel road, Gavin Road runs eastward from near the current terminus of Nevada
Pacific Parkway between two parcels Mark IV currently calls Parcel 22 and Parcel 19.
Underground utility work has been taking place for past few months to prepare for the paving of
the road. Including Gavin Road, Nelson said that’s four and a half miles of water, sewer, fuel and
utility lines.
Meanwhile, Nelson said groundwork will begin in the next few weeks in preparation for the
Nevada Pacific Parkway project. He said they have begun writing the purchase and sale
agreements to acquire the Right of Way to widen the road. While those contracts are being
negotiated, crews will begin cutting the path and removing the organic material from the end of
the current road to where the bridge will begin.
“People are going to begin to see some definitive work that takes place, and this is all work that I
can do ahead of letting the contract,” he said. “Then once the acquisitions are made, they’ll come
in and curb cut all this all the way out.”
In addition to adding an extension of the current road to U.S. 50A, the project includes widening
and straightening the current road and the utilities will be moved to the west side of the road.
Design of the road is 60% complete, and expected to be 100% complete by February,
“We are still on schedule to begin that project in February of 2026,” Nelson said.
