Lake Mead roads to set for $4 million in improvements

A nearly $4 million construction project to improve roads within Lake Mead National Recreation Area will begin Monday.

Pavement preservation will be conducted by the park entrance station near Henderson, from Lake Mead Boulevard to mile marker 20.6 on Northshore Road. This process will provide a longer lasting pavement with a surface that is smoother for cyclists. Internal roads at the Echo Bay area, including the campground area, also will be resealed.

Construction will occur on weekdays. Visitors may experience delays as long as 15 minutes. The project is scheduled to be completed by May 22.

Funding for the project was provided by National Park Service Cyclic Maintenance and Federal Land Transportation programs.
