Roadwork will force lane closures near City Hall

Friday, Oct. 16, 1998 | 12:33 p.m.

Motorists can expect a rough ride near City Hall next week as a $3.9 million Las Vegas Boulevard beautification project continues.

Fourth Street will be reduced to one northbound lane from Stewart Avenue to the freeway access ramps. Stewart Avenue will be one lane in each direction between Las Vegas Boulevard and Third Street.

Work begins at 8 p.m. Sunday and should be finished by Oct. 23, according to city of Las Vegas Public Works officials.

Construction will also severely limit the number of parking spaces available in the metered lot south of Stewart, between Fourth and Las Vegas Boulevard.

The Fourth Street entrance to City Hall, 400 E. Stewart, will be closed each day from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. as crews remove and replace pavement on Fourth and work in the intersection of Fourth and Stewart. City Hall access through Fourth will reopen each morning by 6.

Las Vegas Boulevard is suggested as an alternate route for north-south travel during the day.

Night work will continue on Las Vegas Boulevard, between Carson Avenue and Charleston Boulevard, as part of the same project.

The beautification project began in August and should be completed by August 1999. It includes installation of new median islands, landscaping and street lights.

The project is funded by downtown transportation bonds, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, the Regional Transportation Commission and city money.
