City of Las Vegas traffic crews plan to put the new traffic signals at the Jones Boulevard and Grand Teton Drive intersection into full green-amber-red operation at approximately 9 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1.
To alert motorists to the traffic flow change, the signals will be put onto a “flashing red” operation on Saturday morning, Oct. 31. Motorists are advised to proceed with caution as they become familiar with the newly-signalized intersections.
These improvements are part of a $15.6 million road improvement project that started last December and is now nearing completion. The project includes improvements on Jones between Elkhorn Road and Horse Drive, on Grand Teton between Maverick Street and Decatur Boulevard, and on Farm Road between Maverick and Leon Avenue. Sidewalks are being constructed on Jones and on Grand Teton. Curbs, gutters, sanitary sewer and storm drainage improvements are being installed. Traffic improvements include signing, striping and traffic signals on Jones at Grand Teton and at Farm, and the installation of facilities for future signals at the intersections of Jones and Horse, and Grand Teton and Bradley Road. The new traffic signals at the Jones and Farm intersection are expected to go into service in mid-November.
Meadow Valley Contractors is the contractor. The city of Las Vegas Department of Public Works is managing the project. Funding is provided by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, the Clark County Regional Flood Control District, city of Las Vegas sanitation funds and special improvement district assessments, and the Bureau of Land Management through the sale of public land as authorized by the Southern Nevada Public Land Management Act.
