The City of Reno is asking residents for patience during an upcoming road construction project to complete utility work on the Highland Canal Storm Drain Project. Starting today there will be construction on West 4th Street in both directions between Exit 8 off Interstate-80 and Woodland Avenue. The section of road will be closed to through traffic. People will still be able to access businesses between Woodland Avenue and West McCarran. Construction is expected to take about three weeks. The City of Reno is asking drivers and bicyclists to use an alternate route during construction; detour signs will be posted. Construction will take place during the day, and occasionally on weekends, to expedite the project.
