The figure-eight Henderson roundabout located at the intersection of Bicentennial Parkway and Via Inspirada is set to be replaced. Since its opening in 2018, this roundabout has been the scene of 95 crashes–thirteen of which have taken place this year as of May 15.
This unique design–featuring two double roundabouts in the shape of the number 8–is not a common road configuration in Southern Nevada. Motorists enter and exit on the right or outermost lanes, while traffic continuing straight stays in the left or inner lane. The complexity and unfamiliarity of this type of roundabout have resulted in many Henderson car accidents and injuries.
Already located at a busy intersection, the Henderson roundabout is close to the Hale Injury Law office, and with the plans for the Station Casino Inspirada Station Hotel coming to this area, this intersection will only see more traffic, and potentially more Henderson traffic accidents.
Planned Improvements For Henderson Roundabout
With the addition of the Inspirada Station Hotel-Casino, Henderson plans to improve road safety by modifying the intersection with the following improvements:
- Replace the figure-eight roundabout with a signalized intersection
- Install new pavement, trails, LED lighting, and pavement markings
The intersection construction is set to begin in November 2024.
