Project Overview

The SouthEast Connector is an important regional investment in the Truckee Meadows that addresses the long-term transportation needs to improve the safety and mobility of people, goods, and services in the Reno/Sparks area. The project is an ongoing effort between the RTC, partner agencies, and the community that began almost 50 years ago. Once completed, the new SouthEast Connector roadway— which will be called Veterans Parkway—will stretch 5.5 miles from the intersection of Greg Street and Sparks Boulevard at the northern end, to the existing intersection of Veterans Parkway and South Meadows Parkway at the southern end. The road will be three lanes in each direction, with new signalized intersections at Mira Loma Drive and Pembroke Drive.

Benefits of the Project

The SouthEast Connector Project will provide many long-term benefits to the community and to the quality of life of Truckee Meadows residents. Utilizing valuable input received from federal, state, and local agencies; regional environmental groups; and local business and community organizations, the project team has developed strategies to optimize traffic operations; enhance the environment within the corridor; and maximize the safety of drivers, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
