The Nevada Department of Transportation is implementing overnight lane and ramp closures on Interstate 15 (I-15) as part of the I-15 South Widening Project, an endeavor aimed at broadening and improving one of the state's busy thoroughfares. These closures will enable the repair of concrete spalling, installation of new overhead signage, setup of weigh-in-motion systems, and the application of fresh road striping and are scheduled to occur from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. starting October 5 and extending to October 10, according to the Nevada Department of Transportation.
The Nevada Department of Transportation has announced upcoming lane closures on I-15. Northbound I-15 will be reduced to a single lane between Sloan Road and Cactus Avenue. On the southbound side, lanes will also be narrowed from Blue Diamond Road to Sloan Road. In addition, drivers heading south may encounter intermittent on- and off-ramp closures between Silverado Ranch Boulevard and Sloan Road. Motorists should expect delays, use extra caution in these construction zones, and consider alternate routes to help avoid traffic.
Nevada Department of Transportation also notes specific closures that will take place on the first night of the schedule, detailing that "Northbound I-15 on and off-ramps at Sloan Rd closed," and that "Northbound I-15 off-ramp to Starr Ave closed." For updated information regarding these highway conditions, commuters should consult nvroads.com or call 511 before setting out.
