LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Drivers can expect lane closures along the Las Vegas Strip as they are set to last through the first week of September, according to Clark County.
The lane restrictions are part of phases E and F of a multi-phase project on Las Vegas Boulevard to upgrade infrastructure between Sahara Avenue and the 215 Beltway.
According to the county, southbound Las Vegas Boulevard between Reno and Tropicana will be reduced to two lanes through Aug. 30 for water connection work.
Through Friday, Sept. 6, northbound Las Vegas Boulevard will be reduced to two lanes between Tropicana and Harmon for bollard installation. During this time, southbound Las Vegas Boulevard between Tropicana and Reno will also be reduced to two lanes to construct a bus pad and barrier rail, the county said.
From 8;30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. through Friday, Aug. 30, Tropicana Avenue through Las Vegas Boulevard to Koval Lane will only have two eastbound lanes open for construction of drop inlets and signal loops, according to the county.
Starting Tuesday, Sept. 3 through Thursday, Sept. 5, only one eastbound lane and one westbound lane on Tropicana Avenue from New York-New York Drive to Duke Ellington Way will be open due to excavation and paving work. The work hours will be 11 p.m. and 11 a.m. Sept. 3 through Sept. 4 and 9 p.m. to 9 a.m. Sept. 4 through Sept. 5.
Starting Thursday, Sept. 5 at 9 p.m. through 9 a.m., on Friday, Sept. 6, three lanes will be open eastbound and one lane will be open westbound on Tropicana Avenue between New York-New York Drive and Duke Ellington Way, according to Clark County.
