More Road Work? Las Vegas Airport Tunnel Receiving Maintence
Ah, road work. Over the course of the last year, Las Vegas has experienced more than its fair share of slow downs, traffic delays, and road closures. However, the fun is not over yet. Just when we thought we were in the clear, additional maintenance to one of our most traveled roads has been announced. If you plan on driving through the airport tunnel anytime soon, you might want to consider finding an alternate route depending on the time and date.
Where Is The Road Work?
Just when we thought the road work in Las Vegas was starting to slow, Harry Reid International Airport has announced that additional maintenance will be coming to the airport connector tunnel. Fortunately, those traveling northbound will (hopefully) not experience as gruesome of slow downs and delays. It sounds as though it is specifically the southbound lanes that will be experiencing the brunt of the chaos. According to News3, the southbound side of the airport connector tunnel will be condensed down to one lane, with northbound tunnel work also occurring simultaneously.
When Is The Maintenance Taking Place?
Las Vegas drivers – prepare for these delays soon! The airport connector tunnel maintenance will be happening before we know it. It is currently scheduled to occur January 14th through 18th from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m.. This road work will affect both the southbound and northbound lanes overnight. However, lane closures are only specified for the southbound lanes of the airport connector tunnel. Finger’s crossed the northbound lanes remain less chaotic. Las Vegas drivers have experienced enough chaos on local roads over the last year.
What To Expect On The Off Hours
With scheduled airport maintenance occurring January 14th through 18th from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., what does this mean for the off hours? When construction is not scheduled for the project, traffic flow should remain as usual. Drivers planning on using the airport connector tunnel between the hours of 5:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. on January 14th through 18th can expect normal flow. Hopefully, road work in Las Vegas will soon start to dwindle.
