The Nevada Department of Transportation has announced a series of daytime ramp closures and lane restrictions on the I-15 freeway, kicking off on December 2. The disruptions, which are part of the expansive I-15 South Widening Project, will affect thousands of motorists commuting through the congested artery of transportation. According to Nevada Department of Transportation's latest news release, travelers can expect the St. Rose Parkway on-ramp to southbound I-15 to be sealed off daily from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. beginning Monday, December 2 until Friday, December 6.
Additional constraints will hit the pavement as southbound I-15 narrows down to a lone lane between Starr Avenue and St. Rose Parkway. This nightly hindrance will run from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., starting on December 2 and expectedly wrapping up on Wednesday, December 4. Sound wall construction and the shuffle of temporary barrier rails are the primary culprits responsible for the interruptions, detailed in the release found on Nevada Department of Transportation's official website.
The announcements also noted a brief respite from construction during the Thanksgiving holiday, with a pause in activities from Wednesday, through Sunday, December 1, as communities gather and roads clear momentarily from the relentless drum of progress. Motorists are urged to exercise increased caution when navigating through the work zones. For those seeking to circumvent the construction zones, alternative detour routes are recommended.
