Tropicana Avenue set for multiday closure at Las Vegas Boulevard

Tropicana Avenue at Las Vegas Boulevard will be closed to traffic for two days beginning Monday evening.

Traffic on Tropicana east-and-westbound will be closed to motorists starting at 9 p.m. Monday and won’t reopen until 5 p.m. Wednesday as crews carry out work tied to a $56 million project on the busy road, Clark County announced Monday morning.

During the closure only right turns from Tropicana will be available to access Las Vegas Boulevard.

Las Vegas Boulevard will remain open during the Tropicana closure, with two lanes open in each direction.

Additionally, through Aug. 16 Tropicana in both directions will be down to two lanes daily between 8:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m, between Las Vegas Boulevard and Koval Lane, while median work is conducted.

This work is part of a multiphase project underway on Las Vegas Boulevard aimed at improving infrastructure between Sahara Avenue and the 215. Each phase includes waterline replacement, new pavement, intersection enhancements to improve pedestrian crossings, traffic signal upgrades, LED street lighting systems with smart poles, and enhanced median landscaping.
