The Nevada Department of Transportation has finished the reconstruction and repaving of Pyramid Way in Sparks, spanning from Victorian Avenue to York Way. The completed work aims to provide a smoother driving surface and improved pedestrian mobility for the area.
Why it matters
The project directly improves infrastructure for the 28,000 drivers who use the corridor daily. The upgrades to sidewalks, curb ramps, and lighting are intended to significantly enhance safety and accessibility for local pedestrians.
Crews utilized 11,000 tons of new paving to resurface roadbed depths ranging from two to 18 inches. The work also involved the reconstruction of over one mile of roadside sidewalk.
