Drivers in Nevada are in for a week of travel adjustments as the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) brings back overnight lane and ramp closures on Interstate 15, as part of the ongoing I-15 South Widening Project. NDOT has announced that from Sunday through Friday, motorists can expect a reduced number of lanes and closed ramps nightly between 8:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., and these changes are subject to further updates due to weather conditions or other unforeseen variables.

Specifically on the night of Sunday, August 10, the disruptions will include the northbound I-15 narrowing down to a single lane stretching from Sloan Rd to Warm Springs Rd, the temporary closing of the Cactus Ave on-ramp to southbound I-15 and the off-ramp to St. Rose Parkway, as well as the closure of the eastbound Blue Diamond Rd flyover ramp to northbound I-15, beginning at 8:00 p.m. till the break of dawn the following day, these changes extend throughout the week with southbound I-15 seeing a reduction to one lane from Starr Ave to St. Rose Pkwy, effective from Monday to Friday during the same nightly hours.

Ongoing works have already seen the southbound I-15 cut down to three lanes from Warm Springs Rd to Blue Diamond Rd round the clock, a limitation that will persist through August 2025. NDOT has teamed up with Waze to keep the public in the loop about planned highway restrictions, and for those seeking additional state highway information, it can be found at dot.nv.gov or by phoning (775) 888-7000, with the latest state highway conditions available on nvroads.com or by calling 511 before driving.
