Rush to Washoe
Run, Walk, or Bike the New I-580 Freeway

The public is invited to join the Nevada Department of Transportation in celebrating the soon to open I-580 Freeway, Saturday, July 28, 2012. Activities start at 7 a.m. and continue until 1 pm with the opportunity to bike, walk, or run along the freeway, including the Galena Creek Bridge – the longest concrete cathedral arch bridge in the nation.
Motorists will have the opportunity to drive on the eight-and-a-half-mile freeway beginning at 8 a.m. and can access the southbound lanes of the new freeway from either the existing southbound I-580 freeway or the Mt. Rose Highway.
7 a.m. - 1:00 pm Bike Ride (northbound lanes only)
7:30 a.m. – 1 pm: Self-timed 5 and 10K Fun Run (northbound lanes only)

The $400 million project, awarded to Fisher Industries, involves constructing nine bridges and an eight-and-a-half-mile freeway from the Mount Rose Highway in Reno to the north end of Washoe Valley. The freeway will officially open to traffic in late July or early August.
This is the final section of the I-580/U.S. 395 freeway that upon completion will connect the state’s capital city to the Interstate Highway System (I-80) and improve safety along U.S. 395 through Pleasant Valley.
