NDOT reopened U.S. 95 south of Fallon ahead of schedule last night, after installation of additional drainage culverts to help protect the roadway during local flood mitigation efforts. A section of the highway south of Fallon was closed over the past six days as twelve six-foot-by-four-foot box drainage culverts were added to the existing ten roadway culverts to help channel water underneath the highway as floodwaters are diverted from Lahontan Reservoir. In less than a week, crews excavated 3,000 cubic yards of earth, installed 860 feet of new box drainage culverts and repaved the roadway.
