New Traffic Signal At The Jones Boulevard And Farm Road Intersection Begins Operating Friday, Dec. 4
Signal Moves To A Flashing Red Operation Thursday

 

City of Las Vegas traffic crews plan to put the new traffic signal at the Jones Boulevard and Farm Road intersection into full green-amber-red operation at approximately 9 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 4.

To alert motorists to the traffic flow change, the signals will be put into a “flashing red” operation at approximately 7 a.m. tomorrow, Dec. 3. Motorists are advised to proceed with caution as they become familiar with the new signalized intersection.

Activation of the new traffic signal brings a $15.6 million infrastructure project to completion. Work started last December and included road improvements on Jones between Elkhorn Road and Horse Drive, on Grand Teton Drive between Maverick Street and Decatur Boulevard, and on Farm between Maverick and Leon Avenue. Sidewalks were constructed on Jones and on Grand Teton. Curbs, gutters, sanitary sewer and storm drainage improvements were also installed. Traffic improvements included signing, striping and traffic signals on Jones at Grand Teton and at Farm, and the installation of facilities for future signals at the intersections of Jones and Horse, and Grand Teton and Bradley Road.

Meadow Valley Contractors is the contractor. The city of Las Vegas Department of Public Works is managing the project. Funding is provided by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, the Clark County Regional Flood Control District, city of Las Vegas sanitation funds and special improvement district assessments, and the Bureau of Land Management through the sale of public land as authorized by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act.
