Fremont Street Improvement Project Begins Oct. 7
Expect Traffic Restrictions Between Las Vegas Boulevard And 14th Street
The city of Las Vegas will begin work on street, sidewalk, storm drain, sanitary sewer, traffic signal, street lighting, festoon lighting, and architectural and landscaping improvements along Fremont Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and 14th Street Monday, Oct. 7. The $15 million project will take approximately 11 months to complete. Motorists can expect lane restrictions and delays in the area.
The project primarily will restrict traffic along Fremont Street between Las Vegas Boulevard and 14th Street from Oct. 7, 2019, to August 2020. Safety and maintaining public access at all times to the properties will be high priorities during the work. Work hours will be 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday-Friday, but lane restrictions will be in place continually in the sections where work is being done. Work will begin on Fremont near Las Vegas Boulevard and also near 14th Street; storm drain installation will begin on the east end near 14th Street.
The Fremont Street project is part of the city’s ongoing downtown pedestrian safety improvement projects currently under way throughout the downtown area and Arts District.
Las Vegas Paving is the contractor. The project is funded by Fuel Revenue Indexing taxes. Those with questions or concerns during the work should call 702-448-9100.
