Travelers heading northeast of Las Vegas on I-15 should brace for some congestion as the Nevada Department of Transportation has issued a travel advisory announcing overnight lane restrictions. According to Nevada Department of Transportation's announcement, the restrictions are due to several ongoing road maintenance activities including paving, striping, sign installation, and landscaping.
Specifically, the Nevada Department of Transportation has advised that beginning on October 6 and continuing through October 31, northbound and southbound lanes of I-15 between Ute (Exit 80) and Byron (Exit 84) will intermittently narrow to one lane during the hours of 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., Sunday through Wednesday. Drivers are encouraged to carefully navigate the work zones, and to preferably seek alternate routes to unexpectedly find themselves caught in delays.
The vagaries of construction schedules mean changes can occur; external factors like weather can reshuffle plans. For the latest and most accurate information on highway conditions, Nevada Department of Transportation suggests checking nvroads.com or dialing 511 before embarking on journeys. Being informed may alleviate some of the customary frustrations that come with roadwork.
