The Nevada Department of Transportation announced an updated schedule of overnight lane restrictions on Sunset Road (State Route 562) in Las Vegas as part of a pavement rehabilitation project. The work will improve nearly three miles of pavement between Las Vegas Boulevard and Annie Oakley Drive, aiming to enhance safety and extend the life of the roadway.
According to the department, nightly restrictions will be in place from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., Monday, March 16 through Monday, March 30. During this period, Sunset Road will be reduced to one lane in each direction between Spencer Street and Tomiyasu Lane. No work is scheduled for Friday or Saturday evenings. Vehicles wider than 12 feet are advised to consider alternate routes.
“Motorists should use caution while traveling through work zones, and take alternate detour routes, if possible. NDOT works with Waze to inform the public about planned highway restrictions. The schedule is subject to change due to weather or other factors,” the department said.
The Nevada Department of Transportation promotes roadway safety through programs targeting zero fatalities and advances multimodal planning for aviation, public transit, freight, bicycle and pedestrian needs, according to the official website. The agency manages about 5,400 miles of highways and more than 1,000 bridges statewide and organizes operations through three districts in Las Vegas, Sparks and Elko along with major maintenance stations for statewide coverage. A seven-member board of directors oversees the department as it covers southern, northwest and northeast Nevada through its districts.
