County looks to website to put it on the I-11 map
Two potential routes, following existing highway corridors, are proposed north of I-80, one from western Nevada and the other from Central Nevada. The western Nevada route would follow US 395 through California and Oregon to SR 20 in Oregon, then along SR 20, US 97, I-84, and I-5 to Canada. The central Nevada route would follow US 95 through Oregon and Idaho to I-84, then along I-84, I-82, I-90, and I-5 to Canada. The central Nevada route would bring I-11 through Winnemucca and Humboldt County.

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is still in the planning phase of I-11 and is years away from becoming a reality but that’s not stopping the Humboldt County Commission from getting the word out that the county wants the corridor to come through the area. The commission approved a request by Humboldt County Manager Dave Mendiola for a website specific to I-11 “with the intention of promoting the north corridor from Interstate 80 through Winnemucca” and to Idaho via US Highway 95.

  • US catches heat for World Cup goal celebrations

    The goals were one thing, the celebrations another.
    The U.S. women’s national team faced criticism following its record-breaking 13-0 rout of Thailand on Tuesday night. The win set a World Cup record for goals and margin of victory. Alex Morgan alone had five goals, matching the most in one game in tournament history.
    But there were questions about whether the Americans should have celebrated goals once the game was well in hand. Were the three-time World Cup champions being unsportsmanlike, or merely sending a message to the rest of the field?     Continue this story
