Boulder Highway Upgrade Costs Rise | Las Vegas News

Henderson City Council just approved an extra $12 million for the Reimagine Boulder Highway project, pushing the total cost to over $185 million — all to modernize Nevada’s deadliest road. Originally planned with contraflow buses, the RTC scrapped that idea due to driver training hurdles, switching to normal traffic flow instead. This change added minor costs: more bus shelters, adjusted traffic signals, and rerouted drainage — but officials say it’s a small price for progress. Construction remains on track for August 2027, with the goal of upgrading a 7.5-mile stretch that was never designed for today’s heavy traffic. The RTC is fully funding this essential upgrade to meet modern commuting demands.
