Traffic Impacts

For all projects:

Paving must be done in a warm and dry climate in order to ensure the highest quality.
The current state of the roads is transitional until the final paving can be completed.
Crews are scheduled to work 24 hours per day and will institute noise and odor control measures.

Beginning March 3 through at least March 19, drivers can expect daytime and nighttime road closures on Eastern Avenue beginning at Flamingo Road and north to Viking Road, including the closure of one northbound and two southbound lanes. Two northbound lanes and one southbound lane will remain open for traffic on Eastern Avenue at night.
Beginning Feb. 8 through at least March 5, drivers can expect two eastbound lanes to be closed on Flamingo Road beginning at Palos Verdes St. and east to Maryland Parkway. One lane eastbound and two lanes westbound will remain open for traffic on Flamingo Road. Eastbound traffic will still be able to turn south towards UNLV via Swenson St., Claymont St., and Maryland Parkway.
Beginning March 8th through at least April 24th, one northbound lane on Las Vegas Boulevard and one right turn lane on Sahara will be closed from 2am-10am each day.

For Project #633 on and near Sloan Lane in the northeast area of the valley, motorists can expect the following traffic impacts:

Through at least Feb. 12, the center turn lane and both eastbound travel lanes on Vegas Valley Drive by the Royal Links Golf Club will be closed. Traffic will be restricted to one lane in each direction on the north side of the road.

For Project #632 on West Twain Avenue, motorists can expect the following traffic impacts:

From Feb. 15 through at least March 26, motorists can expect the center lane and one westbound lane to be closed on Twain Ave. from Torrey Pines Drive to Decatur Boulevard. One westbound and one eastbound lane will remain open for traffic. Crews are scheduled to work round-the-clock on the rehabilitation project.
Beginning March 10th through at least April 30th, motorists can expect the center lane and one westbound lane to be closed on Twain Avenue from Decatur Boulevard to Valley View Boulevard.

For Project #620, the District will be working on and near Harmon Avenue east of Eastern Avenue to Pearl Street. Work for this area will be done in sections.

Traffic Impacts

How the sewer pipeline rehabilitation process works:

The process begins with videotaping the sewer pipes to determine which areas need to be rehabilitated.

Once this is determined, bypass pumps are set up to empty the pipes by diverting water to another area of the sewer system.

A felt tube is then inserted into the pipe through a manhole and is impregnated with a thermal-setting resin.

The resin is then cured with steam, leaving behind a hard, durable liner.

This process prevents crews from having to dig trenches to replace pipes, reducing construction time and traffic impacts.
