Enterprise residents will soon have a new, ADA‑compliant walking and biking route as Clark County officials broke ground Tuesday on the Blue Diamond Wash Trail project. The ceremony, reported by news3lv.com, was led by County Commissioner Justin Jones and staff from the Clark County Department of Public Works.
The trail will be 15 feet wide and paved to meet Americans with Disabilities Act standards, providing a safe, accessible corridor for pedestrians, cyclists, and families throughout the southwest Las Vegas Valley. It will run along the Blue Diamond Wash corridor, extending from Durango Drive on the east to Hualapai Way on the west.
Key design features include an at‑grade crossing at Fort Apache Road, allowing trail users to cross the roadway without leaving the paved path, and connections to existing trailheads at both ends of the project. These connections are intended to integrate the new segment with the broader regional trail network, expanding recreational options for local residents.
County officials also highlighted protective measures built into the project to preserve the existing flood‑control easement and surrounding land. By reinforcing the wash’s banks and adding erosion‑control elements, the trail is designed to remain usable even during periods of high water flow, safeguarding both the infrastructure and the natural environment.
“This project improves accessibility and connectivity for pedestrians and outdoor recreation,” the county statement said, emphasizing the community‑focused goals of the development. While a completion date and total project cost have not yet been announced, the groundbreaking marks the start of construction activities that are expected to proceed over the coming months.
Enterprise residents can look forward to a new outdoor amenity that supports active lifestyles, family outings, and safe travel between neighborhoods without reliance on motor vehicles. The trail’s ADA compliance also ensures that seniors and individuals with mobility challenges will have a reliable, level pathway for exercise and transportation.
What’s next: Construction is now underway, with work beginning along the Blue Diamond Wash corridor. County officials have not set a target finish date, but they will provide updates as the project progresses. Residents interested in following the development can watch for future announcements from the Clark County Department of Public Works.
