Clark County Takes Over 4 Strip Pedestrian Bridges

Four pedestrian bridges on the Strip were formally handed over to Clark County this week.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports the bridges were built more than 20 years ago by the Nevada Department of Transportation, and after undergoing more than $34 million in renovations recently, the board of directors agreed to transfer control to the county.

NDOT and county officials have negotiated the transfer since 2003, and the Clark County Commission signed off on the deal in April.

In late December, renovations to the bridges wrapped up which revealed new tempered glass panes, lighted handrails and aluminum panels.

Those renovations were primarily funded by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
