Daytime single lane closures, followed by a 10-day intersection closure, will begin April 23 on Highway 88 at Centerville Lane in Douglas County as the Nevada Department of Transportation installs a traffic roundabout.

Daytime single lane closures will take place on Highway 88 at Centerville Lane April 23-27 from 7am-6pm with a pilot car alternating directions of traffic through the intersection.

An approximately 10-day closure of the Highway 88 and Centerville Lane intersection will then begin April 30 at 10an, with nearby detour available via Mottsville Lane and Foothill Road. Following the full intersection closure, drivers will again see weekday daytime single lane closures until major construction wraps up directly before the Memorial Day weekend. Travel delays of up to 30 minutes are to be anticipated.

Minor finishing elements of construction such as light pole installation will take place in future months.

A compact traffic roundabout will be installed at the intersection of Highway 88 and Centerville Lane west of Gardnerville.

When complete, the posted speed limits on Highway 88 will be reduced to 45 mph approaching the roundabout, with an advisory speed of 20 mph through the roundabout.

In coming years, NDOT will evaluate the potential of purchasing neighboring land to expand the size of the roundabout.
