F Street was historically a main artery linking the Black Westside to downtown Las Vegas until it was walled off by a freeway project in 2008, an act many residents viewed as a symbol of the neighborhood’s isolation. After years of protest, the street was reopened in 2014.
Visitor Info
The reopened F Street underpass features public art and interpretive elements commemorating Westside history and the fight for reconnection. It is publicly accessible as part of a Westside heritage tour.
