Lane Closures on State Route 339 for Resurfacing South of Yerington

Starting September 23, sections of State Route 339 south of Mason and Yerington will undergo resurfacing, leading to weekday lane closures and potential delays lasting through November.

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has announced that closures will occur between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., with pilot cars guiding traffic through the construction zone in alternating directions. The affected section is from Rebbecka Drive to the intersection with State Route 208. NDOT advises drivers to expect delays of up to 30 minutes as the resurfacing work progresses.

Side roads and driveways will remain accessible, though brief interruptions may occur as paving equipment moves through the area.

Residents near the project should be aware of increased construction traffic on Second Street, as heavy trucks haul materials to and from the work zone. NDOT encourages drivers to plan alternate routes whenever possible, with State Route 208 serving as a convenient alternative for through traffic.

Over-dimensional vehicles wider than 12 feet will be prohibited until the project is complete.

In addition to resurfacing, the project includes the replacement of roadway cattle guards and improvements to drainage systems. NDOT urges drivers to remain alert, follow posted speed limits, and exercise caution while navigating the work zones.
