US395, douglas county, 2023 ER- atmospheric river, do 0.000 to do 25.000

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $1,142,583.34 to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) on May 8, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to address emergency repairs on US Route 395 in Douglas County, Nevada. The project scope encompasses roadside infrastructure restoration and erosion control measures, including berming, repair and reconstruction of roadside slopes and ditches, box culvert replacement, culvert cleaning, reestablishment of erosion control measures, plant mix repair, and traffic control. These improvements were necessitated by damage sustained during a 2023 atmospheric river event affecting the designated project corridor from mile marker 0.000 to mile marker 25.000.

This emergency repair project represents typical Highway Planning and Construction program activities, which support highway preservation and infrastructure resilience across the nation. As the designated state transportation agency, NDOT administers federal highway funds allocated through formula and discretionary mechanisms established under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The project deliverables focus on restoring critical transportation infrastructure functionality and safety while implementing long-term erosion control and drainage improvements to enhance future weather resilience.
