Congresswoman Dina Titus, Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) and Boulder City officials held a news conference today to provide details about the upcoming Phase II Nevada Way Reconstruction Project to upgrade this key roadway in Boulder City, including safety improvements for vulnerable roadway users. 

The project is being made possible by an $850,000 federal grant secured by Congresswoman Titus.

“Nevada Way is a main thoroughfare through Boulder City, providing a gateway to Lake Mead National Recreation Area and other tourist destinations around Boulder City,” Congresswoman Titus said. “This project will contribute to Boulder City’s economic vitality while providing additional pedestrian safety measures for its residents.” 

“RTC is proud to partner with Boulder City and Congresswoman Titus to advance improvements that make Nevada Way safer and more welcoming for residents, businesses, and the customers they serve,” said Andrew Kjellman, RTC Deputy CEO. “We are grateful for Congresswoman Titus’ leadership and commitment to bringing resources back to Southern Nevada.”

The project will rehabilitate Nevada Way from Colorado Street to Park Street through the historic downtown area of Boulder City and reconstruct Colorado Street from Nevada Way to Utah Street, and Park Street from Nevada Way to Utah Street. The project will repave, restripe, and replace deteriorating asphalt on the roadway. The improvements include raised crosswalks with pedestrian-activated flashing beacons. The project also includes upgrades to ADA and pedestrian access, especially where sidewalks and ramps are currently limited.

The news conference was held at The Coffee Cup Café on Nevada Way and featured speakers were Andrew Kjellman, Deputy CEO, RTC, Boulder City Mayor Joe Hardy, Gary Poindexter, Public Works Director, Boulder City, and Congresswoman Titus.
