On Sunday, the Nevada Department of Transportation will begin overnight work to apply a top sealant coating to U.S. 50 approximately between Mound House and Silver Springs.

Beginning Sunday, June 14 through Thursday, June 18, one lane will be closed in each direction of U.S. 50 approximately between the State Route 342 junction and Chaves Road. The following week, June 21 through June 25, one lane will be closed in each direction from approximately Stagecoach to the U.S. 50/U.S. 95A Silver Springs junction.
