Starting Monday, Feb. 8, and continuing through the next five months, traffic lane restrictions will be in effect on Durango Drive, between Cheyenne Avenue and Alexander Road, as part of a roadway maintenance and sidewalk improvement project.

Temporary traffic lane restrictions and sidewalk closures will occur in work zones on weekdays, and there will be some around-the-clock sidewalk closures.

The work on Durango Drive is being done as a preventative maintenance measure to extend the life of the roadway. Work will consist of sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement, full depth asphalt patching and the placement of asphalt overlay. Sidewalk ramps will be upgraded to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

Durango Drive will reopen to full access on weekends and as work in each section is completed. The improvements should be completed this summer.

Southern Nevada Paving is the contractor. City of Las Vegas Department of Field Operations personnel are managing the project. Funding is provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Similar projects to improve sections of Alexander Road and Lamb Boulevard should start in the next three months.
