The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) transferred East William Street to Carson City after the completion of the I-580 Freeway. Prior to the freeway, East William Street was a state highway (US Highway 50) serving as a major roadway to move vehicle traffic quickly through Carson City.
The construction duration for this project has extended longer than originally planned. The Project has run into delays due to material shortages, underground obstructions (old oil tanks and challenging utility crossings), hazardous air quality from our fire season, and early season rainstorms which hindered construction.
The Colorado Street roadway and sidewalk infrastructure, between S. Carson Street and Saliman Road, is in poor condition. The Carson City Regional Transportation Commission has allocated funding to make improvements. Please participate in a needs assessment survey to help prioritize future improvements.
