Fort Apache Road between Raven Avenue (south of Pebble Road) and Blue Diamond Road is now open, one way in each direction, as work progresses on Clark County’s Fort Apache Improvement project in the Southwest Valley.

Fort Apache from Raven Avenue to Blue Diamond Road was temporarily closed in both directions for about 90 days when work on the project started in March. Motorists are advised to use caution while traveling in the area as construction activity continues.

The $13.2 million Fort Apache Improvement project is expected to be complete in spring 2025. The project includes roadway widening and resurfacing improvements on Fort Apache Road between Huntington Cove Parkway and Blue Diamond Road, and installation of new box culverts and storm drains, new streetlights, signage and utility adjustments. When complete, Fort Apache Road will be widened to two lanes in both directions. A bike lane is being added on both sides of the road, and a new traffic signal will be constructed at Fort Apache and Ford Avenue. A portion of Presley Glenn Avenue east of Fort Apache Road will also be widened and restriped.

 

Information about the project is on Clark County’s Department of Public Works website at 

https://www.clarkcountynv.gov/government/departments/public_works_department/fort_apache_rd.php. The estimated completion date for the project is spring 2025. Hours for most construction work is expected to occur between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

 

Due to the fluid nature of road work activity, motorists are advised that construction schedules and travel can change on short notice. Motorists should check navigation apps such as Waze, Google Maps or Apple Maps for the latest real-time information as they head out.
