City Of Las Vegas Begins Durango Drive Resurfacing On May 11
Traffic Lane Restrictions To Occur Between Cheyenne Avenue And Alexander Road

 

Starting Tuesday, May 11, and continuing through the next two 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 will occur in work zones on weekdays and also may be in place during weekends. Durango Drive will reopen to full access as work in each section is completed. The improvements should be finished this summer.

The work on Durango Drive is being done as a preventative-maintenance measure to extend the life of the roadway. Work will consist of the placement of asphalt overlay. Sidewalk ramps were upgraded to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act standards.

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.
