Carson City Public Works reports the following projects for the week: There will be lane closures and traffic control on Fairview Drive at the intersection with Carson Street from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. Monday, April 21, and Tuesday, April 22.
There will be lane closures on northbound Carson Street and eastbound Winnie Lane at the intersection of those two streets Wednesday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Elsewhere, preliminary construction work on road shoulders continues at the State Route 207 Kingsbury Grade through April 30 during the evening only from approximately 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., according to the Nevada Department of Transportation.
Beginning May 1 through Memorial Day weekend, May 23, Kingsbury Grade will be closed near Daggett Summit as full construction begins. During the nearly month-long period directly prior to Memorial Day, and another month-long period after Labor Day, Kingsbury Grade will be closed to through traffic near the summit, just east of Tramway Drive. During those times, non-residential traffic will detour through U.S. 50 at Tahoe.
Construction will also continue during the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day, with Kingsbury Grade open to through traffic, but nighttime construction-related lane closures and delays to be expected. The road will be open with one lane in each direction during daytime hours, weekends and holidays through these summer months.
