SR 361 Realigned—13 Miles in Nevada

The Environmental Assessment was approved on February 27, 2026 and the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) was approved on July 14, 2026. The project preserves a north–south highway corridor in central Nevada and (per the notice summary) is intended to improve travel and road safety for local residents.
