Construction was recently completed on roadway improvements made to Craig Road from Buffalo Drive to Durango Drive.

Craig Road is one of the Las Vegas Valley’s arterial connectors and is designed to handle a heavy volume of traffic. To facilitate the movement of more vehicles, the section of Craig Road between Buffalo and Durango was widened from two lanes to four lanes with a center turn lane. Other project features include construction of curb and gutter and drainage facilities. Traffic signals were installed at Craig and Durango as a safety feature and to better regulate traffic flow. Also, a storm drain was installed on Red Coach. Funding was provided by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, Clark County Regional Flood Control District, Special Improvement District 148, and a Clark County local area drainage fund. Project partners included Las Vegas Paving, Las Vegas Electric, Olson Precast and Highway Striping and Signs.

“Since this particular stretch of Craig Road is bordered by residential neighborhoods and provides access to commercial areas, these improvements will help motorists to commute more efficiently to and from their homes or to businesses,” stated Commissioner Chip Maxfield. Maxfield continued, “We thank the local residents and motorists for their patience as the work was done.”

Motorists should exercise caution as they become accustomed to these improvements and the traffic control devices. Clark County Public Works strongly encourages motorists to always drive safely anywhere in our community. Over one-half of all traffic accidents can be avoided if drivers pay better attention to the road and obey traffic control devices. For safe driving tips, please click on "Bad Driving - What's Your Excuse?".
