The Arlington avenue bridges project was completed not to long ago, officially reopening on June 9, 2026. The construction frustrated many Reno locals, the wingfield park was closed off, businesses experienced reduced traffic but nobody is too sure by how much or exactly which businesses were affected. The construction wasn't really ideal for most, now we're facing a new whole project in the downtown area.

The Sierra street bridge project is the next big project Reno Nevada. The sierra street bridge was constructed in 1937, this bridge is over 75 years past the typical bridge life expectancy. The bridge was named in honor of Emmet Boyle, Nevada's governor from 1915 to 1923. It was a few days ago when I spotted this yellow NDOT bucket truck from the corner of my eye, two men were in the bucket, one was holding a flashlight.

The Sierra street bridge does have some visible damage, the edges are a bit chipped on the bottom of the barrier rails. The estimated cost of this project is around $33,822,128, it'll be funded primarily through federal programs. The design phase will continue throughout the middle of 2026, the construction is expected to begin in spring of 2027. Now you all might already know this if you're a Reno local, I'm surprised I haven't heard anyone talking about the future construction, not even one mention. Anyway, here's a cropped photograph from the top right showing the chipped section of the bridge shown on the bottom left while on the right you have them working under the section with the sierra street sign.
