Construction workers began installing 3,000 bollards — steel posts — along Las Vegas Strip sidewalks early Tuesday morning to protect pedestrians from nearby traffic.

Government officials say the 4-foot-tall posts are strong enough to stop a flatbed truck traveling 55 mph.

Approximately 1,600 bollards have been installed on the Strip since October 2017.
