“‘The Extraterrestrial Highway’ sign in Crystal Springs is due for replacement,” Nevada Department of Transportation spokesman Tony Illia said. “As such, we will be removing it prior to the ‘Alien-fest’ event and replacing it afterwards to help reduce traffic congestion at this location due to people stopping to take pictures. Additionally, it’s one of our most stolen highway signs statewide.”
