Paving to begin atop Mt. Rose Highway

Paving will begin Sept. 5 on an upper segment of the Mt. Rose Highway as part of a Nevada Department of Transportation project to repave and enhance the highway.

Roadway grinding and paving work from Timberline Drive in the Montreux area to the Mt. Rose summit is scheduled Sunday evenings through Friday afternoons. It is scheduled to wrap up in early October, weather permitting. Expect single lane closures with pilot cars and delays of up to 30 minutes.

Paving was completed on the lower section of the highway in July.
