FYI ....this confirms it. No I-11 eastern route.

Policy, politics and progressive commentary For years the Nevada Department of Transportation has proposed building a new highway system for the Interstate 11 Corridor that would run through the City ...We don't need more freeways. We need a rapid transit system, like BART.
Got this in the mail today! I-11 corridor study is back. Beware.
UPDATE INFO: Had an exchange of emails with City of Henderson Chief Infrastructure Officer today and he advises that NDOT Level 2 screening dated June 7th, 2021 removes the Eastern Corridor from from consideration. One of the reasons given was lack of public support. He also suggest they we continue our our public comments as this project moves forward. I have added a map dated June 7th, 2021 showing the preferred corridors.
Here is map referred to above.
It doesn't help that it's a terrible option for routing I-11. I see the gain of an Eastern bypass to I-15 but we have too much displacement now. With plans to start construction 20 years away, it will be even more populated on east side. Look at options to use existing routes more efficiently. That could even mean expanding rights of way but it still displaces many homes and businesses.
Hey! Can we get some of these for the trail?
Yea. Some of those gaps are getting ridiculous. 😜
Hello All,
We have been getting a lot of inquiries on when cracks and other issues on the trail will be addressed by our partners at City of Henderson, Boulder City and Lake Mead NRA.
I'm happy to announce that I've been in contact with all three partners and they are all in the process of programming funding to get these issues taken care of.
Lake Mead will prioritize cracks between mile markers 12 and 14 and also cracks outside that area.
Henderson will adress cracks on the segment between tunnel 1 and 2 along Lake Mead Parkway. (Henderson crack sealed and slurried 5 miles of the trail last year from Railroad Pass to the just past the bridge at Equestrian and a section by mile marker 7.)
Boulder City is working with RTC of Southern Nevada to identify funding for RMLT trail rehabilitation.
We'll keep you updated on the progress of these improvements as they move along.
Thanks,
Ron Floth

good, I will be on the trail tomorrow, looking for E-bikes to race and beat. bring it.
I dont see nothing been said about the wetlands trail leading to lake las vegas. There huge cracks all over the trail starting at sunrise trail head. If you could please also fix this we all be very thankful.
If you only talked to the people in the know. Thought you left.
Don't let them all do it at the same time. Make sure they put in bypasses when they do it. If you are past the half way mark and come to a section that you cannot pass because the trail is being rehabed then it makes for a very bad day.
Thank you Ron! We love our RMLT and can’t wait for the repairs.
The cracks filled in between Henderson and Boulder City already need refilled. Nice try, but maybe someone more substantial than just tar?
Thanks Ron. Should be perfect for our race in October
Not a fan of slurry, feel it makes the surface rough but the cracks on 12-14 are very dangerous to inexperienced riders so thanks for the update Ron
That's a good start. Planning for these costs annually to keep up with them would help greatly. Some of these gaps have gotten worse over a period of 3 to 4 years. That's neglectful, IMO.
Hello, I have a question. Would I be better off with a mountain bike, or will a skinny get the job done? I have both, but can only fit one into the semi. Thanks for any suggestions ✌
Zoe Klein Albright- FYI- hopefully this answers your questions!
Thanks for the updates!!!

Our hearts go out to the lost souls and hurting families of today's tragic crash.
Let's watch out for each other.
First Responders Running Relay coming to the RMLT October 16, 2021! Runners will run on Lake Las Vegas Parkway to the River Mountains Loop Trail. From there the course will proceed in a counter clockwise direction and stay on the trail through Henderson, Boulder City and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. For more information please go to: cpaf.org/first-responders-relay/
Amen May God Bless....
Which news channel?
Oh no! What happened?
Tragic
The news was just tragic!! 🙏❤️🙏
This is pretty cool!
Thanks to City of Henderson for this creative idea to promote cycling!
Hello All,
Please be advised that the National Park Service will be repaving Lake Shore Road starting today from U.S. Highway 93 to Saddle Cove. The project will run from November 2nd to the 30th. This project will not impact the RMLT.
Temps are on the rise!
5:00 a.m. is a good start time for a ride on the trail this time of year!
Yep. I went out to BC and back, with a 0515 start.
We rode twice last week. Both times we were pedaling by 4am. We made it half way around the loop before the sun even came up! We love to see the sunrise over lake mead. So beautiful!
Just got done riding my part of it. Like the fresh asphalt and striping looks great.
Has anyone seen the guy on the golf cart that was handing out water if needed and blowing off the trail? Been a while since I’ve seen him. I know he was a volunteer and he even picked up trash! Miss him! 😔
I usually ride in Summerlin but have been wanting to ride the trail. If you can't do the whole loop what would be the best place to start for a 2 hour ride?
I've done that few times! Racing the heat!
It takes a lot of work to maintain a trail such as the River Mountains Loop, not to mention all the other amazing parks and trails in our area. Now's your chance to say thank you to the folks who care for these places. Visit the Get Outdoors Nevada website for more volunteer opportunities:

The City of Henderson will crack seal and slurry the RMLT from Railroad Pass heading north to roughly mile marker 7.
I rode over some of them, they did a good job.
We got it Done, Sonny Morakot 🏕️🏆🚲🚲
Yay! Thank you!!!
