The Nevada Department of Transportation will close the right travel lane along northbound U.S. Highway 95 between Washington Avenue and Vegas Drive from 6 a.m. until 2 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 7, for guardrail repair.
Motorists should use caution while travelling through the work zone, heed construction signage, and take alternate detour routes, if possible. NDOT works with Waze to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but unscheduled construction changes, closures and restrictions are possible due to weather or other factors.

Home Means Nevada, Inc. (HMN), a state-affiliated nonprofit organization that administers certain functions of the Foreclosure Mediation Program, has launched a new, innovative tool for struggling Nevada homeowners as part of its ongoing COVID-19 response initiative.

Below is the assistance they provide:
- A free self-service portal to assist and provide information to homeowners and consumers and allow participating mortgage servicers to assist and interact with homeowners and consumers to exchange documents through the portal.
- On-demand assistance provided by Housing and Urban Development (HUD)-certified nonprofit housing counselors.
- Participating mortgage servicers agree to Standards of Conduct for responsiveness and transparency.
- One-stop shop for homeowners and consumers to access and obtain information on mortgage terminology and potential mortgage assistance programs.
- Proactively addresses potentially unlawful and predatory practices through the security of a state-sponsored portal.
- An end-to-end audit trail of documented interactions and potential loan transfers between homeowners and mortgage servicers.
