Weekly Update ~ 3.27.26

Asphalt paving to occur in four areas next week!

During the week of March 30, crews will be paving the following areas:

•  Maryland Pkwy, University Rd to Tropicana Ave (west half of the road)
•  Maryland Pkwy, Vegas Valley Dr to Desert Inn Rd (west half of the road)

There will be no change to existing traffic control, but watch for intermittent impacts to cross streets and driveways as equipment moves through the area. Following paving, traffic switches will occur in these areas.

Crews will also be placing the final layer of asphalt (called UTACS) in the following areas:

•  Bonneville Ave, MLK Blvd to 1st St
•  Carson Ave, Casino Center Blvd to 13th St

Please note: UTACS requires warmer temperatures, so the drop in temperatures next week may push this work to the following week.

Safe. Comfortable. Accessible Connections!

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