Some drivers might have already noticed more delays on Friday night around the Mill Street and Kietzke Lane intersection. It will be closed to through traffic from Friday night until 7 a.m. on Sunday.
The closure will allow pavement operations for the Mill Street Capacity and Safety Project to continue.   
They're encouraging drivers to avoid the area if possible, but they do have detour routes up for those needing to pass through.
Drivers will only be able to take a right turn from all directions.
 Officials say they've published extensive detour maps, and people can sign up for email and text alerts to look at those detours before traveling.
 They know that with the construction happening at night, there will be less traffic, but they still want to give people a convenient way around.
Josh MacEachern, who is the Public Information Officer for RTC Washoe County, told us, "The overnight closure is just for tonight, but we do have multiple phases of getting this intersection work done here at Mill and Kietzke, so we encourage anyone who travels in this area very often, sign up for those text alerts. They're very convenient, we don't spam you, we only send you them when they're very important."
They say the construction crew is in the homestretch of the project and that the pavement step is the fastest one.
    
Officials also told us that they are excited for people to experience the full advantages of the changes that were made.
MacEachern said, "Making sure that if you were a pedestrian, potentially on a mobility assisted device or in a wheelchair, you could actually get down the sidewalk without a power pole just being like right in the middle of the way, so between that and then adding some kind of capacity upgrades, widening, adding those slip lanes, those turn lanes to get you on to 80, it's just going to make the traffic flow a lot smoother and keep people out of the road."
