LAS VEGAS, NEV. – The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) will be reducing north and southbound Eastern Avenue to one travel lane in each direction at Washington Avenue from 9 p.m., January 25, until 6 a.m., January 26, in Las Vegas.

Crews are installing new intersection traffic signal poles as part of a $1.45 million intersection safety upgrade that began in November. Muller Construction is the general contractor. Plans call for reconfiguring all four corners, including widening sidewalks from 10 feet to 15 feet, removing the right-turn pocket gores, and installing new overhead traffic poles to match the new lane alignments. Construction is scheduled to finish in March.

Motorists should use caution while travelling through the work zone, heed construction signage, and take alternate detour routes, if possible. NDOT works with Waze to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but unscheduled construction changes, closures and restrictions are possible due to weather or other factors.
