Charleston Boulevard and Maryland Parkway
For commutes closer to the Las Vegas Strip, lane restrictions will also be in place on Charleston Boulevard and Maryland Parkway for the month of November.
Burnham Avenue, on the south side of Charleston, will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly for continued waterline improvements. This closure will be in effect from Nov. 6 - 24. Northbound traffic on Burnham will be detoured to Ballard Drive and Eastern Avenue.
Additionally, the southbound Maryland Parkway will be reduced to one lane from north of Charleston to just south of Charleston.
Southbound Maryland Parkway will also be reduced to one lane from north of Charleston to just south of Charleston. Left turns from northbound Maryland Parkway to westbound Charleston will not be allowed from Nov. 6 - 24. East and westbound traffic on Charleston are not affected by the closure, although the area will continue to have reduced lanes.
Additional work will be performed on Maryland Parkway from Charleston to Stewart Avenue and 13th Street from Charleston to Lewis Avenue.
The $51.5 million Charleston-Maryland Storm Drain Project began in October 2021 and is expected to be complete by January 2024.
This project is installing more than 10,000 feet of new, reinforced concrete box, varying in size from 6 feet by 5 feet to 24 feet by 6 feet, within Charleston Boulevard from Fremont Street to Maryland Parkway. The work is part of the Clark County Regional Flood Control District’s master-planned facilities intended to alleviate the heavy flow of stormwater that flowed down the street surface of Charleston Boulevard in the past.
Residents with concerns or questions should call 702-405-6822.
