Delays likely on Kingsbury Grade to stabilize slope
Expect delays on Kingsbury Grade through June as NDOT removes debris from eroded roadside slopes and drainages.
Work takes place Monday through Friday from 7am-6pm on the Carson Valley side of the highway between the summit and Foothill Road. While travel delays will average less than five minutes, up to 30-minute delays are possible during major rock removal.
An approximately 60-f00t concrete barrier rail will also be added at the bottom of one of the slopes to reduce erosion onto the roadway.
Drivers should also anticipate lane and road closures in future months for additional roadway improvements, including replacing roadway drainage pipes and other roadside slope repairs.
