The Nevada Department of Transportation is seeking public feedback on the Mt. Rose Highway Corridor Study. When finalized, the plan will outline future enhancements for the lower segment of the Mt. Rose highway (State Route 431). People can review the proposed plan at www.dot.nv.gov/mtrose and selecting “provide your feedback.” People who would like printed materials can call 702-232-5288. Comments can be sent to NDOTMtRoseStudy@c-agroup.com by May 18. NDOT already hosted two meetings to get input on the proposed plan. The plan will provide a vision for potential options to improve traffic safety and mobility for all types of transportation, according to a news release. The study was ordered after NDOT saw traffic on the valley section of the highway grow from 15,000 vehicles a day in 2014 to nearly 23,000 vehicles daily in 2019. The study reviewed the highway from the South Virginia Street intersection to Douglas Fir Drive. The study also reviews Geiger Grade from the South Virginia Street intersection to the Veterans Parkway roundabout. Additional state highway information can be found at dot.nv.gov or by calling 775-888-7000.
