The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) will be reducing State Route 169 (Moapa Valley Blvd.) to one through-lane in each direction at the Overton Wash just south of downtown Overton.
The work will be ongoing between 6 a.m. and 2 p.m. and Monday through Friday from May 24 until June 4. There will be no work on Memorial Day, May 31.
The temporary lane restrictions are needed to excavate and replace a 24-inch-diameter reinforced concrete drainage pipe in the area. VSS International Inc. is the general contractor on the project.
A flagging and pilot car operation will safely chaperon vehicles through the active construction zone. Motorists can expect minor travel delays.
Motorists are advised to 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.
