| Description |
| Transportation officials – seven years and a lawsuit later – this week celebrated completion of a $520-million U.S. Highway 95 widening in northwest Las Vegas. The 9-mile-long project added four travel lanes between Martin Luther King and Rainbow boulevards; another two lanes from Rainbow Boulevard to Craig Road; and created a high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lane in each direction. There are also seven new over and underpasses, plus 13 miles of soundwalls, storm drainage and redesigned connector ramps that weave lanes of traffic. The improved 10-lane roadway is designed to accommodate 302,600 vehicles a day or about 34% more than its current traffic flow.
