Project Overview

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is undertaking a paving and preservation project on Sunset Road (State Route 562). Work will improve nearly three miles of pavement between Las Vegas Boulevard and Annie Oakley Drive, enhancing safety and extending the life of the roadway. The project is anticipated to be completed by Spring 2026.

The project includes milling and paving Sunset Road as well as lowering utilities, removing and replacing median islands, and upgrading striping and electrical items.
