Clark County has just announced some upcoming disturbances on Paradise Road. Starting Sunday, March 16, and continuing until Friday, March 21, there are going to be lane restrictions in place due to underground utility works. Brace yourself to carefully navigate through the single northbound lane that will be left open north of Harmon Avenue to south of Flamingo Road. On the upside, southbound traffic will still have two lanes at their disposal.
According to the Clark County website, the intent behind these operations is to facilitate directional boring operations beneath the wash area just north of Harmon Avenue. It's all part of the resort corridor's planned improvements. The timing is likely to especially affect folks traveling at night, seeing as the lane restrictions begin each evening at 9 p.m. For those looking to smoothly turn at key intersections, relax a little—the intersections at Harmon Avenue and Paradise Road, and Flamingo Road and Paradise Road are set to remain functional with minimal impact on your turning mojo.
Riders of RTC Transit may experience delays due to lane restrictions on Paradise Road, though no stop closures or detours are planned. Passengers are advised to allow extra travel time as construction on utility enhancements continues. Clark County is working to maintain access to the resort corridor, but delays are expected as part of the ongoing project.
Clark County is reminding commuters that even the best-laid plans can be subject to change, especially with unpredictable road conditions. Those planning to travel along Paradise Road between March 16 and March 21 are encouraged to explore alternative routes. Before heading out, it's a good idea to check real-time updates on navigation apps like Apple Maps, Waze, or Google Maps.
