Navigating around Las Vegas is set to get a bit trickier for drivers this week. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has issued a notice regarding an updated schedule for the I-15 South Widening Project, entailing a series of ramp and lane closures needed for construction work.

Operations for sound wall construction and other necessary updates will result in reduced mobility along critical stretches of I-15. From last Tuesday up until this Sunday, northbound I-15 will be narrowed down to one lane between Sloan Road and St. Rose Parkway every night from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., impacting nocturnal travelers. In addition, beginning Monday, December 9 through Wednesday, December 11, the Cactus Avenue on-ramp to southbound I-15 will be shut down daily from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Motorists are being advised to exercise caution when moving through work zones and to consider alternative routes, when possible.

Further constraints include additional nightly closures, affecting the same on-ramp to southbound I-15 on Tuesday, December 10, Wednesday, December 11, and Sunday, December 15. Additionally, during these nights, the southbound I-15 will find itself reduced to a single lane from Silverado Ranch Boulevard to Cactus Avenue from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. The effort to mitigate the inconveniences posed by the widening project has been a collaboration with traffic navigation app Waze, sharing updates on planned highway restrictions.

While the schedule detailed by the NDOT announcement is subject to fluctuations due to weather or unforeseen circumstances, it represents a significant measure in the progression of the I-15 South Widening Project. Motorists looking for the latest in highway conditions are encouraged to check nvroads.com or call 511 before embarking on their journeys.
