SEPTEMBER 8, 2023:
The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) of Washoe County and Granite Construction will intermittently close the south side of Oddie Boulevard at three intersections as part of Phase 2 of the Oddie Wells Project. Crews will alternate half-intersection closures of Sullivan Lane and El Rancho Drive on Monday, September 11. They will close half of the Silverada Boulevard intersection on Tuesday, September 12.
Two-way traffic will remain in place on the north side of Oddie Boulevard.
The daily intermittent closures will allow milling work in preparation for paving during the following week.
