The Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) will begin the next phase of its Maryland Parkway Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project on Monday, Aug. 4, 2025. This phase includes construction in front of UNLV — on the section of Maryland Parkway between Tropicana and Flamingo. The work is expected to continue through spring 2026. 

During this time, entranceways to the university and various parking lots on both the east and west side of Maryland Parkway will be closed intermittently for 1-2 weeks at a time, as work takes place in front of them. Only one entranceway will be closed at any one time.

We will share more details about upcoming closures and detour routes as we receive them to help you plan your route accordingly. 

Pedestrian paths will be maintained but detoured at times. Transit service will continue. The UNLV Transit Center will not be impacted, but bus stops on Maryland Parkway will also be detoured at times during this phase of the project..

Maryland Parkway will continue to maintain two lanes in each direction.

We encourage everyone to stay informed and to sign up to receive project updates via text or email directly from the RTC. 

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as the RTC works to enhance access to our campuses and the surrounding community. Read more about the Maryland Parkway BRT project on the UNLV News Center.
