Construction on an $8.7 million flood control improvement project will disrupt traffic in western Las Vegas starting June 29.
Lane restrictions and temporary road closures can be expected on Lorenzi Street, between Alta and Westcliff drives, and on Jones Boulevard, between Evergreen Avenue and Borden Circle. Construction will also occur on Alta, between Easy Street and Decatur Boulevard, and on Evergreen, between Easy and Digger streets.
Work is also planned in the detention basins to the east and west of Rainbow Boulevard. The basin work on the east side of Rainbow may affect traffic on Westcliff between Rainbow and Lorenzi.
The project will take approximately 12 months to complete with most of the work performed during the daytime hours. Some night work will be necessary.
Funding is provided by the Clark County Regional Flood Control District and the city of Las Vegas. Contri Construction Company is the contractor.
