Clark County’s updated transportation capital projects plan looks very similar to the prior plan update completed in 2022. The revised large-projects list is part of the county’s ongoing effort to update its 20-year growth plan under the state’s Growth Management Act.

“From the existing (capital facilities plan) project list, we are proposing to remove three large capital road projects and 11 intersection projects,” Harrison Husting, transportation planner for the county, told the county council during a work session last week.
