Weekly Update ~ 5.29.26

Roadway removals in two new sections

Starting June 1, crews will begin roadway removals on the east half of Maryland Pkwy from Flamingo Rd to Dumont Blvd and from Vegas Valley Dr to Karen Ave.

Temporary striping: Russell Rd to Flamingo Rd

Over the next few weeks, crews will be placing temporary striping in the nearly two-mile section of Maryland Pkwy between Russell Rd and Flamingo Rd. Why temporary striping and not permanent? NV Energy will soon be returning to this area to underground the overhead power lines that run on the east side of Maryland Pkwy between Tropicana Ave and Flamingo Rd. As such, the Maryland Pkwy BRT team will hold off on placing the final layer of asphalt and final striping until this work is complete.

Safe. Comfortable. Accessible Connections!

Welcome to the Maryland Parkway
Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project.
