Motorists in Nevada are advised to prepare for a change of pace on Interstate 15 (I-15) as the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has released an updated schedule for closures related to the I-15 South Widening Project. Daily and nightly work on sound wall construction and barrier rail relocation demands these changes to regular traffic patterns.
Specifically, the St. Rose Parkway on-ramp to southbound I-15 will be inaccessible from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily stated last Monday through Friday. In addition, southbound I-15 will narrow to a one lane affair between Cactus Avenue and St. Rose Parkway nightly from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., starting Monday to Thursday. Motorists planning to travel during these hours might want to seek an alternate route.
The tightening of road space continues as northbound I-15 will be reduced to two lanes between St. Rose Parkway and Starr Avenue during the nighttime hours from Monday until today. Moreover, tonight, northbound I-15 will further shrink to just one lane at Cactus Avenue, starting at 8:00 p.m until 5:00 a.m the following morning, according to the NDOT release.
While navigating through these work zones, drivers are urged to proceed with caution. NDOT partners with Waze to keep the public informed of planned highway restrictions, but it's important to note that the schedule might adjust due to weather or other unpredictable factors. For real-time updates on state highway conditions, travelers are encouraged to consult nvroads.com or call 511 prior to embarking on their journey.
