LAS VEGAS, NV (KXNT) - The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) recently awarded a nearly $1 Million construction contract to Aggregate Industries SWR Inc. to repair a pair bridges spanning I-15 along the Las Vegas Wash between Cheyenne Avenue and Craig Road. The concrete structures, measuring roughly 72 feet wide by 133 feet long, carry four lanes of traffic in each direction.
“These much-needed critical repairs will extend the longevity of aging yet vital infrastructure,” said NDOT spokesman Tony Illia. “These bridges are integral for moving visitors, motorists and trucks, delivering important goods and supplies to southern Nevada. Additionally, this project ensures continued runoff flows beneath the freeway crucial for feeding the Las Vegas Wash.”
Construction is scheduled to start October 5, resulting in daytime lane restrictions down to two travel lanes in each direction between Cheyenne Boulevard and Craig Road that will squeeze down to one-lane each way during overnight hours. Work will tentatively finish by late December.
The project will remove damaged and unsound concrete, placing a polymer overlay and reconstructing the concrete headers and bridge joints.
