There has been utility work going on in the City of Henderson at the corner of Lake Mead and Boulder Highway (the major intersection in Henderson) and it has been going for a good part of the summer. The work is being done or overseen by Southwest Gas.
Every time we drive by, there is minimal work going on with the people who are supposed to be working are just under the trees gathering shade. The only one's, it seems, who are working most of the time, are the flag girls/guys.
It would be one thing if we could see some progress in the utility work but it just doesn't seem to be any. There just doesn't seem to be any urgency to get the work done and get the major intersection back to normal. I suppose if they get this done early, they may not have anything to do or maybe or go to a worse job.
It would be nice if the City of Henderson can get their act to together and put some pressure on Southwest Gas and it's contractor's to get things done faster.

It's possible that they keep finding unexpected surprises when they dig. There is road construction on the UW campus this year, and it is way behind schedule because they keep finding 100-year-old water mains that were never mapped (no one thought about diggers hotline a century ago). Better that the contractor drags their feet waiting for accurate information about the utilities than they push ahead and cause a gas explosion, like what happened in Oconomowoc a year or two ago.
