Starting this coming Monday, September 16, Clark County advises motorists of lane restrictions on Durango Drive at Peace Way, reducing travel lanes to one in all directions until Friday, September 20, due to upgrades to traffic signals. According to a Clark County announcement, while the left turn lanes at the intersection will be maintained, drivers should prepare for delays.

Additional restrictions are currently in place along Peace Way from Hualapai Way to Cimarron Road, with lane closures taking a 24-hour presence because construction activities are happening in multiple areas. For those navigating the construction, real-time information can be sought using navigation apps such as Waze, Google Maps, or Apple Maps, which may also suggest alternate routes to avoid the work zone. Project construction hours are expected to be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The ongoing construction is part of a $19.8 million project encompassing roadway rehabilitation on Peace Way between Hualapai Way and Cimarron Road. This includes upgrades such as curb, gutter, and sidewalk improvements, and there's also the construction of a new bridge intended to span from Peace Way at Fort Apache Road to Chessie Court, linking west and east of the Clark County-215 Beltway.

According to the Clark County news release, this bridge is part of the broader initiative to connect communities, which kicked off back in June and is anticipated to continue throughout the year. Motorists are reminded to plan their commutes accordingly and adjust to these roadway changes as Clark County works to facilitate not only smoother traffic but safer, more efficient travel corridors.
