A Change.org petition created Oct. 20 calls on the Nevada Department of Transportation to address deteriorating pavement on State Route 361 between Gabbs and Luning.
Organizers describe severe wearing, deep rutting, expanding potholes, pavement deformation and heaved sections that they say create public safety risks for residents of Mineral and Nye counties and through travelers.
The petition requests an immediate comprehensive engineering inspection and prioritized structural repairs to the affected segments of Gabbs Valley Road.
As of the latest available information, no corresponding NDOT news release or active construction notice specifically matching the petition’s full scope appeared on official channels. Earlier shoulder-armoring and pavement work on portions of SR 361 near Gabbs has occurred in prior seasons.
Motorists should continue to use caution, reduce speed in rough sections, and check nvroads.com or dial 511 for real-time conditions before travel. The petition remains a public advocacy effort rather than an agency action.
