Lanes on the recently widened Pyramid Highway opened this week as part of a continuing Nevada Department of Transportation project to widen and enhance Pyramid Highway. A third lane is now open on southbound Pyramid Highway between Los Altos Parkway and Queen Way, and on northbound Pyramid Highway between Queen Way and Shoppers Way.
Please note that north of Shoppers Way, northbound Pyramid Highway will stay in the existing two-lane traffic pattern and will not open to three lanes until after paving and striping operations take place north of Los Altos Parkway.
Additional future lane closures may be needed to complete construction work within the project area.
Upcoming Construction Pause:
Construction work on Pyramid Highway will pause for Burning Man traffic and the upcoming Labor Day holiday, starting Sunday, Aug. 25 through Monday, Sept. 2. Work will resume at night on Tuesday, Sept. 3. During the pause, you may still see some construction work taking place along the shoulder, including site maintenance and highway wall painting.
