LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Las Vegas transportation officials are giving motorists a heads up about lane restrictions over the next couple of days.
Vegas Drive and Owens Avenue will be restricted to one lane eastbound and westbound between Rancho Drive and Interstate 15. That is scheduled to be in place from 7 a.m. on Feb. 1 through 7 p.m. on Feb. 2.
Crews are continuing to work on improvements to sidewalk areas to meet federal Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, which includes reconstructing concrete cross gutters and curbs. Work scheduled on Thursday and Friday includes partial-depth pavement removal and reconstructions, installing temporary traffic delineations, and bike lanes.
Motorists can expect delays in the area. City officials are recommending drivers take Lake Mead Boulevard and Washington Avenue as recommended alternate routes for eastbound and westbound traffic.
On Thursday, transportation officials also announced Vegas Drive between Rock Springs Drive and Rainbow Boulevard will be closed on from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Feb.3 for repaving. However, that is weather-permitting. That includes the overpass over the U.S. 95 freeway. There will be no through traffic on Vegas Drive for about 15 hours while crews do roadwork.
Eastbound vehicles will be detoured to Rock Springs Drive and westbound traffic will be detoured at Rainbow Boulevard. Drivers should expect delays. Washington Avenue is recommended as an alternate route that motorists can take.
