The Nevada Department of Transportation will set controlled fires to burn brush along 12 miles of State Route 160 between Pahrump and Mountain Springs starting Monday, NDOT said Friday.
A water truck and the Clark County Fire Department will be on hand while maintenance crews use a propane torch to burn tumbleweeds in the center median between mile posts 30 and 42, about 16 miles southeast of Pahrump.
The burn will be conducted 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday of next week. No traffic restrictions are expected, but delays are possible, NDOT said. Message boards will notify motorists of problems.
