After nearly two months of repairs, the first of three storm-damaged highways leading to residential hamlets and recreation areas on Mount Charleston in the Las Vegas area has reopened
After nearly two months of repairs, authorities have reopened the first of three state storm-damaged highways that provide primary access for residential enclaves and recreation areas on Mount Charleston in the Las Vegas area. However, officials said Thursday that some popular hiking trails will remain closed due to extensive damage from flooding spawned in early September by remnants of Tropical Storm Hilary, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported.
Route 158, a mountain highway connecting those roads, is slated to reopen Nov. 10. Gomez put the cost of road repairs at about $11 million, the Review-Journal reported. Water line and utility repairs continue for mountain hamlets including Old Town not far from the Lee Canyon Ski and Snowboard Resort, 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas. Corey Enus, a Las Vegas Valley Water District official, told the Review-Journal crews hope to have residential water service restored by next week.
