Book Description
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has a total of four (4) active Truck Escape Ramps (TER) throughout the State. The first TER was designed and constructed on Mount Rose Highway (SR-431) in 1978. Since that time, NDOT has constructed two TERs on US-50 and one on Laughlin Highway (SR-163). NDOT authorized Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (KHA) to conduct a review and evaluation of the SR-431, SR-163, and the US-50 (mile post CC 2.98) truck escape ramps. The second truck escape ramp located on US-50 (mile post CC 7.03) was not reviewed or evaluated as it is scheduled to be removed with planned highway realignment projects in the near-term. The SR-431 truck escape ramp was reviewed and evaluated as Attorney Work Product under a separate project number and as such the findings and recommendations are not published in this report.
