Please be advised of the following traffic alert from I-15 Design Build South Project:

• Dean Martin Drive will be closed between W Patrick Lane and W Post Road from Friday, January 27 at 6 A.M. through Saturday, January 28 at 6 p.m. for modification of the railroad signals. After the weekend’s work, there will be one lane in each direction both on the southbound side of Dean Martin Drive at the railroad through June 1.

• Beginning Monday morning, November 21^st, drivers going northbound on I-15 wishing to exit Tropicana Ave. will have to use the newly configured Russell Rd. exit ramp. Additionally, drivers will have to exit at the Russell  Rd. ramp about a quarter mile sooner. 

• Once exiting on the ramp drivers wishing to exit Russell Rd. will stay in the right lanes to exit and drivers wishing to exit Tropicana Ave. will have to stay left and exit after driving past the Russell Rd. bridge.  

• This will also be the exit for drivers wishing to exit Frank Sinatra Dr. 

• This configuration is one of the first steps to opening up the access roads that are a key element to the I-15 South Design Build project.   

• The southbound I-15 access road south of the I-15/I-215 interchange will be opened on the morning of Thursday, August 25.

The access road will mean the following changes for Valley motorists:  

• I-215 (eastbound & westbound) to I-15 southbound traffic will enter the access road then join I-15 with the entrance point just south of Blue Diamond Road. Drivers will be able to get to westbound Blue Diamond Road from that access road.
• To get from I-215 to eastbound Blue Diamond Road, motorists are advised to use Las Vegas Boulevard or Decatur Blvd south to get to Blue Diamond Road.

A few reminders for northbound I-15 traffic around Blue Diamond and the access roads:  

• The Blue Diamond flyover that carries eastbound to northbound traffic from Blue Diamond will lead to I-15 northbound but not to I-215.
• To get to I-215 from Blue Diamond Road, drivers must cross under I-15 on Blue Diamond eastbound and turn left to use the access road to get to I-215.
• The eastbound I-215 to southbound I-15 and the westbound I-215 to southbound I-15 will be closed alternately on Wednesday August 24 between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. for removal of barrier rail.
• The ramp from southbound I-15 to Blue Diamond will be closed on Wednesday August 23 between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. 
• The ramp from Las Vegas Blvd. to northbound I-15 is closed for approximately 9 months until the end of May. Traffic from Las Vegas Blvd to northbound I-15 will be detoured. The detours from Las Vegas Blvd. are north to Russell Road or south to Blue Diamond to access northbound I-15. This closure/detour is to be in place for 24 hours per day during the time period.
• Westbound I-215 to northbound I-15traffic will be diverted from the current ramp to a temporary ramp approximately 1500 feet west of the current ramp for approximately 9 months beginning the morning of Wednesday August 17. Please see graphic. This configuration is to be in place for 24 hours per day during the time period.
