Expected delays and detours are heading our way next week due to construction on the Interstate 215 and Airport Connector Interchange Phase 3 project. The westbound I-215 off-ramp to the northbound Airport Connector, along with the Warm Springs Road on-ramp to the northbound Airport Connector, is set to close from 9 p.m. on Jan. 12 to 6 a.m. on Jan. 13. Plus, drivers should plan for the closure of the Sunset Road off-ramp from the northbound Airport Connector scheduled for 9 p.m. on Jan. 15 to 6 a.m. on Jan. 16, according to the Clark County Department of Public Works.
These temporary disruptions are a small part of the larger $49.5 million project aimed at improving traffic flow and safety. Upgrades include widening the Sunset Road off-ramp from one lane to two and the northbound Airport Connector itself from three to four lanes in certain stretches. A critical improvement is the construction of a new ramp from eastbound I-215 that feeds into the northbound Airport Connector, which boasts a dedicated lane for the Sunset Road off-ramp, as reported by the Clark County Department of Public Works.
The project also calls for a realignment of the westbound I-215 on-ramp that will merge with the northbound Airport Connector lanes. This is expected to enhance maneuverability for motorists navigating onto and off of Sunset Road. Details about these changes and future lane restrictions can be found on the Clark County Department of Public Works website, according to the information released in their latest advisory. As updates become available, residents and travelers can consult the official project website for the most current information on construction schedules and lane closures.
