NDOT installing livestock fencing on U.S. 50 in Silver Springs

The Nevada Department of Transportation is seeking to enhance traffic safety with a new project to install livestock fencing on sections of U.S. 50 in Silver Springs.The project, which began Monday, will fence approximately four and a half miles of U.S. 50 between Boyer Lane and Pinto Street and from Onyx Street to the U.S. 95 Alternate intersection in Silver Springs. The four-strand, smooth wire fencing will stand four feet high to help prevent wild horses and cattle from entering the highway.
