Storm Drainage Improvement Project On Decatur Boulevard North Of Elkhorn Road Starts Feb. 23

Work on a $2.8 million flood control improvement gets underway on Decatur Boulevard from Elkhorn Road to Whispering Sands Drive later this month.

Starting Monday, Feb. 23, and continuing through the next four months, temporary traffic lane restrictions may be in effect on Decatur Boulevard. Work will take place at the Decatur Boulevard and Elkhorn Road intersection, and will proceed north to Whispering Sands Drive.

Construction activity will take place during the daytime hours.  As traffic delays and disruptions can be expected, Bradley Road is suggested as an alternate route for through north-south travel. These storm drainage improvements are slated for completion this summer.

Tab Contractors Inc. is the contractor for the project. The city of Las Vegas Department of Public Works is managing the construction. Funding is provided by the Clark County Regional Flood Control District.
