Charleston/Lamb Intersection Blocked During Marathon Sewer Rehabilitation Friday-Monday, July 27-30
Motorists Are Encouraged To Use Alternate Routes


The partial closure of the Charleston Boulevard/Lamb Boulevard intersection is expected to begin Friday, July 27, at 7 a.m. and end Monday, July 30, at 5 p.m. This will be an around-the-clock marathon of work to repair and rehabilitate the existing 51-inch sanitary sewer line and manholes in the intersection. Expect major traffic delays in the area while the work is being done. Detours will be in place.  Access to businesses in the area will remain open. Motorists just passing through are encouraged to use alternate routes, i.e. Stewart Avenue, Bonanza Road, and Sahara Avenue for east-west traffic and Nellis Boulevard, Pecos Road or Marion Drive for north-south access. Here are the most important things to note:

  • July 27 at 7 a.m. through July 30 at 5 p.m. - Southbound Lamb Boulevard will be restricted to one lane. This lane will provide access to the businesses on the northwest corner of Charleston and Lamb Boulevard. This will be a right-turn-only lane at Charleston Boulevard; left turns and through traffic will be prohibited for southbound Lamb travel. 
  • July 27 at 9 p.m. until July 30 at 5 a.m. - Northbound Lamb Boulevard will be partially closed at the Charleston intersection. Traffic will be able to turn right onto Charleston Boulevard or continue north along Lamb Boulevard through the intersection. Left turns onto westbound Charleston will be prohibited for vehicles traveling northbound on Lamb.
  • July 27 at 9 p.m. until July 30 at 5 a.m. - Eastbound Charleston Boulevard will be partially closed at the Lamb intersection. Traffic will be able to turn right onto Lamb Boulevard or continue east on Charleston Boulevard through the intersection.  Left turns onto Lamb from eastbound Charleston will be prohibited. 
  • July 27 at 9 p.m. until July 30 at 5 a.m. - Westbound Charleston Boulevard will be partially closed at the intersection. Travelers on westbound Charleston will be able to turn left or right onto Lamb Boulevard; through traffic will be prohibited. 

Las Vegas Paving is the contractor and the project is being paid for by the city of Las Vegas Sanitation Fund. Those with questions or concerns during the work should call 702-251-5800.
