NDOT widening U.S. 95 from Durango to Kyle CanyonNevada Department of TransportationA six-mile stretch of U.S. 95, including the turnoff to Mount Charleston, is set for an upgrade. The Nevada Department of Transportation broke ground on a $78 million project Thursday that will widen the highway between Durango Drive and Kyle Canyon Road. Additionally, the project calls for the addition of a diamond interchange at Kyle Canyon Road featuring a wrong way driver detection system. The wrong way driver alert signs have proven to reduce such crashes by 38 percent, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. The project is being underwritten by a combination of federal ($42.4 million), state ($2.2 million) and local ($33.4 million) funds.
