Updated September 14, 2024 - 10:43 am

Portions of Las Vegas Boulevard will continue to be restricted to as few as one lane in each direction through early October as a yearslong improvement project progresses.

Work has been taking place on the Strip between Harmon and Reno avenues, where crews are replacing water lines, repaving the road, modifying intersections, improving pedestrian crossings and upgrading traffic signals and street lights.
