Traffic Delays, Road Closures Expected As Downtown Welcome Sign Constructed

Traffic delays and even some periodic closures are expected this month on Las Vegas Boulevard between St. Louis and Bob Stupak avenues, as work gets underway on the construction of crisscrossed illuminated arches that will serve as a welcome sign to downtown Las Vegas.

The $6.5 million gateway arches, going up near the Stratosphere, are part of an effort to update signage in the downtown area.

Construction is set to begin March 16 and is expected to be finished in September.
