Sky Vista Widening

Construction Update:

Thank you for your continued interest in the progress of the Sky Vista Parkway reconstruction and widening project. As you are aware, Silver Lake Road has been closed at Sky Vista and while RTC-Washoe is working diligently to reopen the road, it will likely remain closed into October due to extended utility work and weather delays.

The construction team is aware of reoccurring backups along Sky Vista and continues to monitor challenging areas and make necessary adjustments to improve traffic flow. In addition, the construction crews are attempting to coordinate temporary driveway closures with residents in an effort to limit impacts by ensuring at least one access point is provided.

What to expect in the coming weeks:

• Paving operations will begin on the right side of Sky Vista Parkway in October.
• Black Bear drive is closed at Sky Vista. Follow signage and detour to Silver Sky Parkway to access to Sky Vista Parkway

• Traffic control will remain in place during the upcoming Air Races (Use the detour above to gain access to Sky Vista Parkway)

• North Valley’s Regional Park main entrance to reopen in October (Please don’t damage the park by driving across the grass to gain access)

No lane closures will occur between the hours of 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. or between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Construction activities are generally scheduled Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. – 6 p.m., with some Saturday work as needed. The contractor may need to work some nights. Notice will be given to residents in advance if night work is needed.

Pedestrian access along Sky Vista from Silver Lake Road to Vista Knoll Parkway is still temporarily closed until approximately the end of this year. Please use our pedestrian access detour, highlighted in orange in the map above, to access North Valleys Regional Park. If you need to cross Sky Vista to get to the park, use the crosswalk at Silver Lake or the pedestrian beacon located at the east park entrance.  This closure is needed for pedestrian safety during earthwork, grading, utilities, and retaining wall construction.
