Nevada Test Site airstrip

Does anybody know much about the airstrip near the entrance to the NTS? I drive by there quite a bit and saw for the first time last night the lights were on and it appeared to be a landing strip. It was nearly perpendicular to the highway. Any info? Seems like a strange location. Maybe someday I will get around to putting together a trip report of the time I just moved here and decided to visit the town of Mercury. The family and headed right down the road to the front gate not really knowing that the entire area we were in was off limits! It was actually kind of funny and embarrassing, but I did get some good photos.

I knew I was in the wrong place when I passed this sign!
