Starting Tuesday, June 1, and continuing through the next four months, traffic lane restrictions and sidewalk closures will be in effect on Rainbow Boulevard, from south of Smoke Ranch Road to north of Gowan Road, as part of a roadway maintenance and sidewalk improvement project. Traffic delays can be expected and detours will be established for pedestrian traffic.

The work on Rainbow is being done as a preventative maintenance measure to extend the life of the roadway. Work will consist of sidewalk, curb and gutter replacement, full depth asphalt patching and the placement of asphalt overlay. Sidewalk ramps will be upgraded to meet current Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. 

Las Vegas Paving is the contractor. City of Las Vegas Department of Field Operations personnel are managing the project. Funding of this $1.5 million improvement project is provided by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Similar projects on Lamb Boulevard, Alexander Road, Village Center Circle, Hills Center Drive and Ann Road are ongoing.
