View of lane closures on southbound I-15 in Las Vegas, highlighting construction efforts.
This weekend, major lane closures will occur on southbound I-15 in Las Vegas as part of a repaving project. From Friday night until Monday morning, all southbound lanes between Spring Mountain Road and Tropicana Avenue will be affected, requiring drivers to use alternate routes. This is part of the ongoing Dropicana project aimed at improving road conditions. Minor traffic impacts are expected afterward. Motorists are advised to comply with detours and safety measures in work zones.
Major lane closures on southbound I-15 are set to take place this weekend, starting Friday, July 18 at 9 p.m. and lasting until Monday, July 21 at 5 a.m. This will impact all southbound lanes between Spring Mountain Road and Tropicana Avenue as part of a vital repaving project.
The closure is a significant component of the ongoing Dropicana project, which aims to enhance the roadway and minimize disruptions for motorists. The project is scheduled for completion by September of this year.
During the closure, drivers will be rerouted to either Decatur Boulevard or Las Vegas Boulevard to navigate around the affected area. This detour ensures that traffic continues to flow even as repaving efforts are underway.
In addition to the main closures, there will also be lane restrictions and ramp closures for a brief period on Saturday, July 19 from 1 a.m. to 5 p.m. This specific closure is necessary for the installation of overhead signs in the area, which are vital for future traffic navigation and safety.
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has provided a detailed map outlining the closure area and the recommended alternate routes for motorists. This resource is designed to assist drivers in planning their travel more effectively during the work period.
This weekend’s closure marks the last major interruption for the Dropicana project. After this repaving work is completed, only minor traffic impacts are expected as remaining enhancements are finalized. The overall aim of the project is to improve road conditions and safety for all users of this busy corridor.
Motorists are encouraged to approach work zones with caution and to comply with all posted detours and speed limits. The NDOT emphasizes the importance of maintaining safety in these active construction areas, not only for workers but also for the traveling public.
As the weekend draws near, drivers in Las Vegas should prepare for the upcoming lane closures on I-15 Southbound. By following detour routes and staying informed, motorists can help facilitate the road improvements while minimizing disruptions to their travel plans.
