A stretch of Interstate 80 in Elko County is getting a $14 million update to reduce animal-related crashes.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the state Transportation Board approved a bid this month for a deer crossing project, even amid concerns about funding.
Governor Sandoval voted for the project, but also suggested the money could be better spent on other safety concerns, such as pedestrian safety in Las Vegas.
