NDOT finishes most fencing to stop wild horse-vehicle collisions near Dayton

DAYTON, Nev. (KOLO) -The Nevada Department of Transportation reports it has finished most of the project to reduce collisions between vehicles and wild horses on U.S. 50 in the Dayton area.

Fence installation started in early January. NDOT installed more than 8 miles of four-strand, 4-foot livestock fencing along U.S. 50 between Nevada 341 to near Our Park in west Dayton, between Fortune Drive and Occidental Drive and between Six Mile Canyon Road and Chaves Road, NDOT said Thursday in a statement.

In the near future there will be brief roadway shoulder closures on U.S. 50 as NDOT installs roadway lighting at the end of each fenced section for better visibility.

The new fencing joins the nearly 24 miles of existing highway fencing on U.S. 50 between Dayton and Silver Springs.

The area where the new fencing was installed had 27 horse-related crashes between 2017 and 2019, NDOT reported.

NDOT offered these tips for driving safely in areas with wildlife:
