East Las Vegas Street to close for three weeks starting Monday

East Las Vegas Street, from Janitell Road south to U.S. Highway 85, will close for three weeks starting on Monday, Jan. 26.

The closure allows crews to demolish the existing eastbound railroad bridge as part of the Circle Drive Bridges project. The closure dates may include some Saturday and Sunday work.

Northbound travelers should use Highway 85 North/Venetucci Boulevard to Circle Drive to access alternative routes. Southbound traffic can access Janitell Road, finding alternative southbound routes via Circle Drive. 

This work is weather-dependent, and the schedule may change. Street signage and the project hotline (719-428-7090) will reflect the latest schedule information.
