Beginning February 10^th, the Nevada Department of Transportation will continue the second marathon closure weekend closing a portion of Rainbow Blvd and detouring U.S. 95 in order to safely install overhead girders on the Summerlin HOV (high occupancy vehicle) flyover bridge that is currently under construction. Nevada Highway Patrol will be patrolling the area to ensure drivers use caution near the construction zone.

Traffic reconfiguration will occur from Friday, February 10^th at 7 p.m., through Monday, February 13^th at 5 a.m.  Please note the following traffic configuration changes made from the weekend prior:

• Northbound U.S. 95 will have one lane open and will no longer be detoured.
• Southbound U.S. 95 will continue to be detoured through Rainbow Blvd.
• Summerlin Parkway eastbound onto U.S. 95 southbound will have one lane open. No closures on Summerlin Parkway West.
• Access from Rainbow Blvd. to northbound U.S. 95 will no longer be restricted.
• Silver Springs Rd. at Rainbow Blvd. will remain open.
• Access to U.S. 95 north from Jones Blvd. and from Lake Mead Blvd. to U.S. 95 south will be restricted.
• Shuttle services will continue to be provided 24-hours for pedestrians needing to get across Rainbow Blvd.
• Drives needing to get across Rainbow Blvd. will be diverted through surface streets and marked detours. Use recommended or preferred alternate route.

The Summerlin HOV connector is a federally funded project designed to create an overpass for drivers using the HOV connectors to exit onto Summerlin Parkway safely by avoiding weaving traffic. The $26 million project is expected to be completed by the summer of 2012.
