The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded $2.1 million under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205) on July 17, 2025, to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) for reconstruction and complete street improvements along State Route 159 and West Charleston Boulevard in Clark County. The project encompasses reconstruction of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) underpass structure and roadway, with complete street improvements including bike lanes and pedestrian facilities extending from Grand Central Parkway to Commerce Street (SR 159, Clark County Line 17.224 to 17.438) and along West Charleston Boulevard from Commerce Street to Art Way.

NDOT, serving as the prime grant recipient, has sub-awarded project implementation responsibilities to the City of Las Vegas. This infrastructure initiative aligns with the Highway Planning and Construction program's emphasis on multimodal transportation network development and pedestrian and bicycle facility improvements, supporting enhanced connectivity and accessibility in the Las Vegas metropolitan area through federal infrastructure investment authorized under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
