Wonderful news! Our bridge, formerly known as G-29, has been reopened with lots of new pavement too! This was a project that took about 10 years to plan/work on for a total of an $8.2M infrastructure investment into our county.

Have you noticed construction beginning on our new Maverik on South Main Street?! Tanks are being placed! This will be the "big" Maverik style. City, County, PCEDA, LMWD and other entities have been working with Maverik for a couple years now to get to this point. Construction is estimated to be complete in December 2024.

Ground has broken at Amherst Park for the fitness court. Watch for concrete to be poured there, and on our 2 new pickleball courts!

This will be the 6th court in Northern Nevada, and there are 6 courts in Southern Nevada. The equipment is grant funded and a collaboration of several local entities with ReNown being the State Sponsor. (Photo is of the court in Sparks.)

There is an app for your phone (FREE) that will show you how to use the equipment, where to locate other fitness courts, and full of other useful information. See the link below.

There will also be an Ambassador Program launched in the community when we have our ribbon cutting later this late summer/early fall. The Ambassador Program will help coordinate fitness challenges, encourage use and more.

Originally called Decoration Day, from the early tradition of decorating graves with flowers, wreaths and flags, Memorial Day is a day for remembrance of those who have died in service to our country. (These photos are from the Lovelock Memorial Day ceremony in 2013.)

Here's the update for the G-29 bridge: The bridge is close to being complete and we are hoping it will be reopened around the 4th of July. This is the bridge that is located on Upper Valley Road, north of US Silica, that crosses over the railroad tracks.

Originally, NDOT had intended on tearing the bridge down due to it's age. Our city and county elected officials and economic development office have worked with NDOT for close to a decade to have this bridge replaced instead of demolished. (Before photos were taken April 2020.)
