Beginning June 20 , roadway shoulder and intermittent lane closures will be in place on State Route 447 ( Washeim Street ) through central Wadsworth as the Nevada Department of Transportation installs pedestrian and safety improvements .
   Drivers will see intermittent lane and shoulder closures on Washeim Street between Fourth and Sagebrush streets June 20 through mid - August , primarily between 7a . m . - 4p . m . weekdays . Pedestrian , business and side street access will remain available during construction . While most delays will be less , drivers should anticipate traffic delays of up to 30 minutes as traffic flaggers alternate traffic through the work zone .
   NDOT , in conjunction with the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe , will install the following improvements on SR 447 between Fifth and Eighth Streets:
   • New multi - use path on west side of the roadway
   • Two new and one updated crosswalk with three new flashing pedestrian crossing lights , providing safer and more designated access to Natchez Elementary School and other areas
   • Radar - activated speed signs will be installed 
   • Additional street lighting at intersections
   • Enhanced school zone signage and roadside drainage , on State Route 447 , or Washeim Street , through central Wadsworth
   • Resurfacing of Washeim Street through downtown Wadsworth
   The project was developed in partnership with the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe and funded in part by a Tribal Transportation Safety Fund grant received by the Tribe . The goal is to enhance safety , mobility and connectivity so pedestrians and bicycles can more securely access and share the road , including access to local school and community centers .
