Carson City’s strategic location at the intersection of two major highway corridors provides convenient access for businesses and residents to major markets throughout the west. Highway 50 extends east and west across the nation, and Highway 395 runs from Canada to Mexico. Phase 1 of the Carson City Freeway opened February 16, 2006 and routes traffic around the northern portion of the city from Highway 50 East to Washoe Valley North. Phase 2 is expected to be completed sometime in 2008 with the freeway bypass complete to Highway 50 West in 2010. The bypass will take much of the heavy through traffic off the main street through the city.
 
Our area is served by two airports: The Carson City Airport is 1.5 miles north of the city’s central business district and is adjacent to the Airport Industrial Park.

Hanger space, tie-downs, fuel, and other services are available. The commercial passenger Reno/Tahoe International Airport is a short 30 to 40 minutes from the city.
