According to RTC Southern Nevada, the agency reported the crash at 7:45 a.m. and said two center lanes of westbound I-215 at Las Vegas Boulevard were blocked. The post urged drivers to expect delays and to choose alternate routes while the crash is cleared.
Work On I-215 Is Tightening Commutes
The incident comes amid a pavement preservation project on I-215 between I-15 and Windmill Lane that has included nightly lane reductions and some ramp closures. As outlined by Nevada Department of Transportation, those planned restrictions can magnify the traffic impacts of crashes on this stretch of the Southern Beltway.
Tips For Drivers
If you must travel through the area this morning, allow extra time, consider exiting earlier to use surface streets, and follow real-time routing from your navigation app. Officials encourage motorists to follow agency alerts and avoid the area if possible until lanes reopen.
