SEARCHLIGHT, NV (NDOT) - The Nevada Department of Transportation had to close the Southern Nevada Visitor’s Center rest area along U.S. Highway 95, roughly 17 miles south of Searchlight due to a bee infestation on Wednesday.
Maintenance crews discovered hundreds of bees swarming the faucets, toilets, and other facilities
It's the second time this year that that particular rest area had to be closed for bee eradication. NDOT crews are working diligently to quickly resolve this issue,” says NDOT spokesman Tony Illia. “It’s important to make this rest area safe and accessible once again for motorists.”
The rest area will remain closed until it can be safely reopened again.
