LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Construction on the Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit Project is scheduled to start next week.
According to the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, Maryland Parkway is one of the busiest transit routes in the RTC system, serving more customers per bus, per hour, than any other route, including the Las Vegas Strip.
The proposed project will be 12 and a half miles long and run from the South Strip Transit Terminal to the Las Vegas Medical District.
What does that mean for traffic?
