Progress Made Along Nevada Way

The Nevada Way Reconstruction Project has been underway nearly a month and lots of great progress is being made. We checked in with the City of Boulder City and received this update:

The contractor, Unicon, and their subcontractors are continuing work forming curb and gutter, sidewalk, access ramps and driveways. The first concrete pour for the curb and gutter is scheduled for Thursday night July 31. On Tuesday night, the water mains were shut down to replace two water main valves, one on Nevada Way and one on Ash Street. These replacements went very well. Several more water service replacements and new backflow prevention device installations were completed this week. They are also working on removing the existing concrete cross gutter across Wyoming at the Nevada Way intersection in preparation for forming and pouring the new cross gutter.

Due to the narrowing of the road, parallel parking was temporarily striped on the south side from Wyoming to Avenue B. Street Division crews did a great job laying out the temporary striping.

Based on the final design, one tree does need to be removed and replaced. The existing tree west of the kiosk message board in front of 521 Nevada Way (Lady Boutique) is too close to the new curb and gutter and needs to be removed to make way for the new dedicated walkway. A new tree will be installed outside of the new dedicated walkway to replace the tree removed as part of this work.

City staff tell us the project is currently on target for completion in early September.
