NV/AZ FTBR US93(2), Hoover Dam Access Road

NV/AZ FTBR OLD US93(2), Hoover Dam Access Road

The Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) is proposing to rehabilitate the Hoover Dam Access Road and associated parking lots through the NV/AZ FTBR OLD US93(2), Hoover Dam Access Road project. The Hoover Dam Access Road project is located at the Hoover Dam, approximately 33.5 miles east of Las Vegas, NV.  The project does cross the dam, with work in both Nevada and Arizona.

The project focuses on a pavement preservation approach to the existing roadway and parking lots, consisting of primarily surface treatments, ranging from a crack sealing and pavement patching to micro-surfacing, thin bonded overlays and pavement milling and asphalt overlays.

            Schedule A:   

•·       40301-0100, Asphalt Concrete Pavement, Type 1, 1,600 TON

•·       41801-2000, Asphalt Concrete Pavement Patch, Type 2, 2,100 SQYD

•·       42901-0000, Ultra-Thin Bonded Wearing Course, 2,500 TON

•·       63402-0300, Pavement Markings, Type B, Solid and Broken, 35.5 MILE

Option X:
