Clark County residents can expect to see construction crews rolling out improvements to local pedestrian pathways starting this month. Clark County Public Works has announced their annual mission to upgrade sidewalks and curb ramps to meet current ADA regulations. The project will focus on filling sidewalk gaps, upgrading curb ramps, improving pedestrian crossings with new signal and push-button systems, and installing detectable warning surfaces (DWS) to assist visually impaired pedestrians.

Clark County recently announced that the necessary construction work is expected to continue through the fall and winter of 2025/2026. Work will take place on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., potentially affecting commuters with lane and sidewalk closures during these hours. Detours will be in place to guide travelers around these areas, though specific closures have not yet been revealed.

To stay informed about potential disruptions, Clark County Public Works encourages residents to follow their social media channels for updates. Information on road and park projects, as well as opportunities for community feedback, can be accessed on X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, and Nextdoor. Additionally, residents can sign up for email notifications through the Clark County Public Works website.
