The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $2,631,579 to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) on August 6, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) to upgrade streetlight infrastructure along high injury network corridors in the Las Vegas area. The project converts existing high pressure sodium (HPS) and first-generation light emitting diode (LED) streetlight luminaires to next-generation LED luminaires on W Sahara Avenue (from Hualapai Way to Rainbow Boulevard and from Decatur Boulevard to Rancho Drive) and SR589 in Clark County. This safety-focused initiative targets roadway segments where traffic fatalities and serious injuries are heavily concentrated.

NDOT is administering the project through a sub-award to the City of Las Vegas, which implements the streetlight retrofit work as part of its High Injury Network Streetlight Safety Upgrades initiative. The upgraded luminaires are designed to provide greater resilience and enhanced energy efficiency while improving visibility and safety conditions on these critical corridors. This award aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on highway safety improvements and infrastructure preservation on public roads where safety activities are eligible for federal funding support.

Project description

Conversion of existing high pressure sodium (HPS) and first generation light emitting diode(led) streetlight luminaires to more resilient and energy efficient next generation led luminaires along several of the city's high injury network corridors where traffic fatalities and serious injuries are heavily concentrated.
