The final phase of the City of Henderson's Eastern Avenue rehabilitation project is set to be completed this weekend after a “pave-a-thon” is held Sept. 12-15.
After last weekends push, public works refinished as much of the roadway as they could in the overnight hours and plan to finish the stretch between Horizon Ridge Parkway and Reunion Drive.
“Eastern Avenue has some of the highest traffic counts in Henderson,” said Tom Davy, project manager. “But making the effort to conduct the work during overnight hours and keeping lanes open during daytime travel, has helped this project move along smoothly.”
Part of the project has included the installation of new incident management cameras that relay traffic information to engineers, who then control the timing of lights or contact emergency response when there are incidents at intersections that have the cameras.
Before the project is finished, be advised that the road is uneven, especially around the area where Anthem Hills Drive separates from Eastern.
City officials say that paving will be done after this weekend, and the project will be completely finished after manhole covers are replaced later this month.
It’s nice to see that the only part of town they care about is Henderson. This “project’ has been going on around Flamingo and Eastern for two or three months now and not a word. Wouldn’t want the rich uninformed now would we?

you are talking apples and oranges. these are 2 completely different entities that are involved in this road work. henderson has always been way ahead of the city of l.v. and clark county when it comes to getting projects done. being rich has zero to do with this.
