Pavement Improvement
On Maryland Parkway Begins Today
Work Between Stewart Avenue and Bonanza Road
Continues Next Five Weeks
Starting today,
April 17, and continuing through the next five weeks, utility adjustments,
milling and paving operations will occur on northbound and southbound Maryland
Parkway between Stewart Avenue and Bonanza Road. Work
hours will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Traffic generally will be
restricted to one lane in each direction, northbound and southbound, from 7
a.m. to 5 p.m. each workday.
Las Vegas
Boulevard and Eastern Avenue are recommended as alternate routes for north- and
southbound traffic.
Preliminary work was completed last fall and consisted of
improvements to sidewalk areas to meet federal Americans with Disabilities Act
requirements. The current work consists
of removal and reconstruction of the deteriorated pavement, completion of
pedestrian crossing, and new roadway striping.
Vehicle lanes will be reconfigured and bicycle lanes will be installed
on Maryland Parkway. Upon completion of
the project, the roadway will have the appearance and ride quality of a new
roadway.
Las Vegas Paving Corporation is the
contractor. City of Las Vegas staff are managing the project. The estimated
cost of the project is $600,000, with funding provided by the Southern Nevada
Regional Transportation Commission’s Fuel Revenue Indexing tax.
