Clark County Water Reclamation District advises alternate routes during East Flamingo project work
The Clark County Water Reclamation District (District) began the second phase of major sewer pipeline upgrades in the east part of the valley on April 15.
“The work taking place on East Flamingo has caused considerable backups because we have had to deactivate the underground sensors on the traffic lights in order to dig in that area,” said Sam Scire, assistant general manager for the District. “The lights are now on timers, which has made traveling in that area take longer.”
The project encompasses 4 square miles, and the District has been actively communicating with everyone in the area who is impacted by the work. Additionally, the District continues to explore every option to keep lane closures to a minimum.
Expect the following 24-hour traffic impacts on Flamingo Road:
- Through at least Sept. 30, expect traffic on East Flamingo Road to be narrowed to one lane for travel east of Mountain Vista Street to Cabana Drive.
“As travel on East Flamingo has been narrowed to one lane, we recommend taking alternate routes such as Desert Inn Road or Vegas Valley Drive,” Scire said. “This project is a necessary upgrade to our sewer system to prevent serious problems and we appreciate people’s patience as our crews work 24 hours a day to complete this.”
