Beaver Canyon SR-153 Closure; DOT Priorities I-15

State Route 153 through Beaver Canyon is closed indefinitely after flash floods and debris flows destroyed multiple road sections, with the worst damage between mileposts 7.5 and 10.5 and about half of the roadway near milepost 14 washed into the river. UDOT is assessing the damage from air and ground and developing a repair plan, warning that neither side of the mountain is safe and that further storms could worsen conditions due to the Cottonwood Fire burn scar.

Sparks Police Not Involved in Regional Consolidation Talks

Sparks Police Chief Chris Crawforth says Sparks has not been involved in formal discussions about consolidating law enforcement in the Truckee Meadows, while Sheriff Darin Balaam has indicated he’s evaluating the issue without initiating any formal talks. Officials emphasize existing regional cooperation among Sparks, Reno, and Washoe County, and note any potential consolidation would require broad collaboration, with no proposal yet to Reno and a focus on manpower, funding, and modernization of public safety.
