Downtown Streetscape Project Begins
The city of Las Vegas Department of Public Works plans to begin a streetscape improvement project along two roadways in downtown Las Vegas.
Starting Monday, January 7, work will take place on Hoover Avenue between Casino Center and Las Vegas boulevards, and on Casino Center between Colorado Avenue and Charleston Boulevard.
Most work will be done Monday through Friday during daytime hours. While work is underway, one travel lane in each direction will remain open and at least one sidewalk side will be accessible. So as to not impact First Friday event activities, no work will take place on Casino Center Boulevard during the first Friday of each month.
The streetscape improvement project includes widening the sidewalks and landscaping improvements to allow for the incorporation of artistic elements. Work also includes the installation of decorative streetlights and pavement pavers within the sidewalk areas.
Capriati Construction is the project contractor. Funding for this $1.8 million improvement project is provided by the city of Las Vegas. The improvements will take approximately six months to complete.
