ROAD CLOSURE

There is a fire burning near Andrew Lane in the Pleasant Valley area of Reno, south of the junction of US 395 and the Mount Rose Highway.

Currently, US 395 is closed in both directions- at Mt. Rose Highway for southbound traffic, and at East Lake Boulevard for northbound traffic.

People needing to travel between Carson City and Reno can use Geiger Grade, though expect delays due to the unusual volume of traffic on that road.
