A project to add shoulder widening and a truck climbing lane to a section of SR-169 in Moapa Valley will begin next week. Crews will start the project on Tuesday, April 18, following the Clark County Fair & Rodeo in Logandale, Nev.
The project will enhance safety, drainage, and roadway operations along SR-169 from Canal Avenue to I-15. It will provide pavement preservation activities within the corridor and construct flatter slopes along the edge of the roadway to create a clear zone. Additional pavement will be constructed outside the standard travel lane to serve as a wider shoulder area and provide a safer travel space for bicyclists in each direction. A portion of the road will be constructed to provide a four-foot-wide striped median to reduce the potential of head-on crashes. A truck climbing lane will be constructed in the northbound direction, starting at Waterline Road and ending approximately one mile north of Waterline Road.
The project will begin with tortoise fencing and earthwork. Construction will eventually include a one-way pilot car operation during working hours (6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. during summer.), through November 2023. A 20-minute maximum stop and 30-minute maximum delay is expected during those times.
More details are available online at www.dot.nv.gov/sr169.
Motorists should use caution while traveling through work zones, and take alternate detour routes, if possible. NDOT works with Waze to inform the public about planned highway restrictions. Construction schedules are subject to change due to weather or other factors. For the latest state highway conditions, visit www.nvroads.com or call 511 before driving.
