Building roads is just one aspect of
providing safe and efficient transportation systems.
High quality, routine maintenance is essential,
efficient and cost effective to sustain streets in good
condition. Public Works contracts with
outside firms for both routine and specialized pavement
maintenance activities, in addition to work also
completed by its own work forces. These projects
maximize the value of the County’s roadways by:
extending useful life, remediating badly deteriorated
roadway sections, and by bringing County roadways into
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act
(ADA). Over the past 6 years, more than $58
million in local gas tax monies have been directed
toward this effort.
Three different types of
maintenance treatments will be completed in various
parts of unincorporated Clark County in 2005.
·
Slurry seal projects
are mixtures of fine-graded
sand and aggregates with quick setting asphalt
emulsions. These are typically used on pavements
that are 5 to 15 years old to extend the life of the
pavement by sealing out water and shielding the asphalt
from oxidation due to ultraviolet rays.
·
Pulverize and pave projects grind up the existing
asphalt on older, more deteriorated streets and recycle
it as a high-quality base for a new layer of asphalt
paving.
·
ADA compliance projects provides wheelchair sidewalk ramps
at intersections or the replaces of non-conforming
intersection wheelchair ramps not meeting applicable
standards.
Wondering whether your street in
unincorporated Clark County is on the list for this
year? Just click on the links above to find out if
your neighborhood is on it. Residents that live in
incorporated cities such as Las Vegas, Henderson,
North Las Vegas, Mesquite and Boulder City will have to
check with the public works agencies in those cities to
find out about their roadway maintenance programs.
