Fernley’s Hub Location & Market Access

Trucking / Rail
Three primary transportation routes transect Fernley; Interstate 80, U.S. Highway 50, Highway 95A spurs off I-80 and runs north-south, and passes through Yerington on its way to Las Vegas.

Many truckers prefer HWY 50 route from Fernley to Las Vegas when driving to Los Angeles. This saves time and money since less time is driven on California roads avoiding additional fees. Triple Semi’s are also allowed in Nevada.

The railroad also passes through Fernley and branches off for access into the warehouse district.

A new exit off I-80, (exit 50), has been completed and designed for access the warehouse district from interstate 80. This exit is not available to traffic at this time.

Also slated is a connection between I80 and Hwy 50A East which will bypass Fernley easing city traffic and provide fast transitioning for commercial transport.
