East and westbound traffic will not be permitted on Charleston across Nellis.

The Nevada Department of Transportation is rehabilitating an aging 10-mile section of north and southbound Nellis Boulevard (State Route 612) between Tropicana Avenue and Craig Road in Clark County. The project will remove and replace the existing pavement.
The project will enhance safety along the corridor by adding two push-button activated pedestrian mid-block crossings with overhead rapid flashing beacons at Newton Avenue and another just north of Cheyenne Avenue, new handicap accessible ramps, sidewalks and driveways that will be installed and tied into Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) facilities.
In addition, the Sahara Avenue, Charleston Boulevard, and Bonanza Road intersections will undergo full-depth asphalt repaving with streetlight replacements and signage improvements. These enhancements will rejuvenate a heavily traveled urban arterial with three school zones, creating a safer and more pedestrian-friendly corridor.
