Heads up, North Las Vegas commuters: the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has initiated nightly lane restrictions along the northbound stretch of Interstate 15 (I-15). Maintenance crews will be concentrating their efforts on upkeep of the roadway's drainage systems, specifically targeting the cleaning of drop inlets among other features essential to the interstate's infrastructure. The work is scheduled to take place every evening from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., beginning Tuesday, September 17 and lasting until Tuesday, October 1, as reported by NDOT.
During these times, drivers can expect the closure of the right shoulder and right lane between Lake Mead Boulevard and Cheyenne Avenue, this could potentially cause delays so motorist are advised to exercise caution when passing through these work zones and if they can they should consider alternative routes. NDOT has partnered with Waze to keep the public informed about the scheduled highway restrictions, although changes to this schedule may occur due to unforeseeable circumstances like weather conditions or other variables.
For those in need of further information on state highway conditions, NDOT makes it accessible through their website at dot.nv.gov, and they offer a contact at (775) 888-7000. Up-to-the-minute road condition reports can also be found at nvroads.com or can be heard by calling 511 before setting out on your drive.
