Construction to Tie Up Traffic along Buffalo Road Again
There is finally some relief for drivers in the southwest part of the Las Vegas valley.
After being closed for about two months, Buffalo Road between Patrick Lane and Russell Road will re-open to traffic Sunday morning.
Unfortunately, the opening does not mean the end of construction in the area. The same Sunday that Buffalo Road re-opens, it will close again between Patrick Lane and Post Road. Crews will be installing a storm drain system, and the closure will last about six weeks.
Crews will also be closing down Patrick Lane between Buffalo Road and Miller Lane while they relocate a water line and install a storm drain under Patrick Lane. That closure is expected to last about a week.
The construction is part of a $6.9 million flood control project.
