Lane shifts will take place on Highway 50 near Spooner junction in south Carson City beginning April 2 as the Nevada Department of Transportation reconstructs the intersection to connect to the future Carson City Freeway.

Both directions of Highway 50 at the South Carson Street-Spooner junction will temporarily be reduced to one lane and shifted slightly to the south.

The southbound Carson Street to westbound Highway 50 sweeping right turn lane will be removed. Motorists will be able to make the turn by stopping at the traffic signal before turning.

The temporary traffic configuration is anticipated to be in place through early May.

When construction is complete, a shorter southbound turn lane from South Carson Street to Highway 50 toward Lake Tahoe will replace the existing sweeping right turn lane.
