The city of Las Vegas says construction along Ann Road will be in place for the next month.

Crews have restricted lanes along Ann Road between Tenaya Way and Decatur Boulevard. The restrictions will be in place through Friday, June 1. The inside lane on eastbound Ann Road will be closed from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. The westbound lane restriction starts at 9 a.m., because of rush-hour traffic. The closures will be Mondays through Thursdays with some closures on Fridays and weekends.

Crews are working on improvements to the median island. They are putting in decorative rock and boulders, along with metal sculptures of desert flora and fauna. Twelve median islands around the city of Las Vegas will go through similar improvements. Besides making the roads look better, the improvements will lower maintenance costs and use less water.

A community in the far northwest part of the valley will celebrate a new thoroughfare for its neighborhood Thursday afternoon.

The opening of a section of Lone Mountain Road to the public will be hailed at 4 p.m. Thursday. The ceremonies will take place at the corner of Lone Mountain Road and Shasta Blue Street.

The area along Cliff Shadows Parkway includes several neighborhoods, but the only access in or out of the area came from Cheyenne Avenue or Alexander Road. Lone Mountain Road offered a third means of entrance and egress from the community, but between 215 and Cliff Shadows Lone Mountain was a private Bureau of Land Management (BLM) haul route.

Construction will force lanes along Jones Boulevard at the northern beltway to shift Sunday night.

Crews will be working on the Jones Boulevard Bridge which will be part of the 215 and Jones interchange. Traffic on Jones will be diverted to a temporary traffic signal at the beltway. The lane shift and traffic signal will start at 9 p.m. The work is set to be finished at 6 a.m. Monday. Traffic on the beltway will be shifted slightly to the south during the same time period.

In the next few weeks, drivers should be ready for another road in the area to close completely. Bradley Road will be closed at the beltway. That intersection will never reopen. Instead, a bridge will be built to carry traffic along Bradley Road over the beltway.

The construction is part of a $116 million project to improve the northern beltway and the interchanges at Decatur and Jones Boulevards.
