Henderson Embraces Safer, More Efficient Travel with “Reimagine Boulder Highway” Project Amid Road Closures

Henderson residents are in the midst of a roadway transition as construction on the Reimagine Boulder Highway project marches forward, bearing promise for a safer, more efficient future. As reported by

, the project that began in August is part of a comprehensive plan to overhaul nearly eight miles of one of Nevada’s oldest roads. The undertaking aims to equip the thoroughfare with improved infrastructure and transportation features, projected to extend well into 2027.

Starting this morning, local commuters will face a new hurdle as Sunset Road closes in both directions from east of Boulder Highway to Burns Road, according to

. This disruption is due to the installation of a storm drain to combat the area’s notorious flooding issues. The 90-day expected closure adds to the six median access interruptions along Boulder Highway, including at locales such as the USPS/Pep Boys, Henderson Plaza, and Summit on Boulder Apartments.

The essence of the project, however, extends beyond mere utility upgrades. Enhanced safety measures are in the spotlight, with the incorporation of new traffic signals, widened sidewalks and crosswalks, and improved lighting for roadway users. “The flooding in this area is a safety issue,” Michael Carino explained, while another resident, Jon Rowlett, looked forward to the expected repaving of streets and sidewalks for better visibility and navigation, as per discussions with
