Highway 50 and south Carson Street will be reduced to one lane in each direction March 6-9 from about 9pm to 6am.

Freeway signs are being installed in anticipation of the connector opening.

The detours include:

March 7: South Carson Street will be temporarily closed directly south of the Highway 50 intersection between approximately 1-4am. Traffic will be detoured via Clear Creek and Snyder avenues.

March 8: South Carson Street will be temporarily closed directly north of the Highway 50 intersection between approximately 1-4am. Traffic will be detoured via Clear Creek and Snyder avenues.

March 9: Highway 50 will be closed directly west of the intersection of South Carson Street between approximately 1-4am. Traffic needing to travel between Lake Tahoe and Carson City during the three-hour closure period will need to detour through Kingsbury Grade or Mt. Rose Highway.

The project is expected to complete, opening the final segment of freeway to traffic, in late summer 2017.
