Las Vegas commuters should brace for some inconvenience as the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) proceeds with an extensive sign replacement project that will see overnight lane reductions and ramp closures across key arteries in the city. According to a recent announcement from NDOT, the project entails swapping outdated I-515 signs for new I-11 markers, covering a stretch that runs from Henderson to Kyle Canyon Road and affects several major routes, including I-11, U.S. 95, U.S. 93, I-215, and local roads.
The expected disruptions kick off at 9:00 p.m. today until 5:00 a.m. tomorrow, with closures impacting eastbound Summerlin Parkway lanes to southbound I-11/U.S. 95 and the Buffalo Drive on-ramp to eastbound Summerlin Parkway—NDOT is advising drivers to exit to Rainbow Blvd and follow detours for north and southbound I-11/U.S. 95 access, the ongoing sign replacement is part of efforts to keep road signage in the Las Vegas Valley current and reflective of the official highway designations announced in November 2023 by the Federal Highway Administration. Further closures are set to continue through the week, with different sections being targeted each night until 5:00 a.m. Friday, as stated in an NDOT press release.
Motorists are urged to exercise caution when navigating these work zones, considering alternate detour routes when feasible. To assist drivers, NDOT has teamed up with Waze, the community-based traffic and navigation app, to provide real-time information on the planned highway restrictions. Nonetheless, despite meticulous planning, the schedule could shift due to unforeseen weather or other variables; thus, drivers are encouraged to keep abreast of the latest state highway conditions by visiting nvroads.com or by calling 511 before setting out on their journeys.
