KIHUEN CALLS FOR INTERSTATE 11 NORTHERN ROUTE TO CONSIDER ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO WESTERN NEVADA COMMUNITIES ? f t # e Washington, November 27, 2017 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE November 27, 2017 Contact: Miguel R. Salazar, 202-225-9894 Adrian Boafo Press.Kihuen@mail.house.gov WASHINGTON, D.C – Today, Rep. Ruben J. Kihuen released the text of a letter he sent to Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao requesting that the Department of Transportation prioritize continuing the Interstate 11 project through northern Nevada and consider the potential economic opportunity and benefits to existing rural Nevada communities as part of the planning process. Rep. Kihuen cited specific concerns raised by the Nevada Legislature that any proposed northern route should not bypass Mineral County, costing those communities the economic boost that would come with the development of Interstate 11. During his first term, Rep. Kihuen has made infrastructure development and job creation one his top priorities. Earlier this month, Rep. Kihuen hosted Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer in Las Vegas to discuss the future of Interstate 11 and needed federal support for other infrastructure opportunities in Nevada. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
