This multimillion-dollar project will reopen F Street underneath I-15 near downtown Las Vegas. Since 2010, the City of Las Vegas and NDOT have been working with elected officials and community leaders on a reopening plan. This effort has involved citizen input on the design, aesthetics and more. Construction is expected to begin in late spring/early summer 2013. Construction will take approximately 20 months.

Construction on the I-15 Cactus Interchange Project is underway. This project will reduce congestion on I-15 in the rapidly growing sectors of the Las Vegas Valley and provide a connection for regional traffic for motorists traveling within Clark County, the city of Las Vegas and the city of Henderson. In addition, the project will provide an alternative route to the rapidly-expanding southwestern sector of the Las Vegas Valley. The total project cost is estimated between $62 million. Construction began on April 1, 2013, and is expected to be completed in Fall 2014. 

As the project progresses, motorists can expect lane closures in and around the project area. Updates will be posted to this page and, in some cases, distributed via NDOT's social media mechanisms.

The City of North Las Vegas, in cooperation with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, have been working to develop plans to improve North 5th Street between Owens Avenue and the Northern Beltway (CC-215), a distance of approximately seven miles.The goal of the North 5th Street Improvements Project is to provide an enhanced north-south transportation corridor along North 5th Street in the City of North Las Vegas. The $30 million bridge is part of the City's North 5th Street Arterial Project. The North 5th Street Bridge is expected to be complete this summer. Funding comes from the RTC. Target Construction is the contractor. 

North Las Vegas, Nevada -- Motorists will encounter varying lane closures of northbound and southbound Interstate 15 from Cheyenne Avenue to Lake Mead Boulevard, Monday through Thursday. Most of the lane closures will be in effect from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., however, daytime closures will be in effect on Monday and Tuesday. Crews will be working on the North 5th Street Bridge over I-15.

This multi-phase, multi-year project will improve U.S. 95 from Washington Avenue to Kyle Canyon Road in northwestern Las Vegas by adding lanes, constructing interchanges at Horse Drive and Kyle Canyon Road and creating a system-to-system interchange between U.S. 95 and CC 215, along with other improvements, including aesthetics. 

Phase 1, which stretches from Washington Avenue to Ann Road, is complete. Phase 4, which included a new interchange at Horse Drive and U.S. 95, was complete in 2011. Phases 2 and 3 are currently in the final design phases and will proceed when funding becomes available. Phase 5 is scheduled to begin construction in 2018 or later, pending funding. Phases 2 and 5 are in partnership with the City of Las Vegas; Phase 3 is a partnership between NDOT, the City of Las Vegas and Clark County.

As part of a landscape and aesthetics beautification project, NDOT will initiate nightly closures from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the northbound U.S. 95 on-ramp to westbound Flamingo from Sunday, April 21 to Thursday, April 25. NDOT will also initiate nightly closures the following week, from Sunday April 28 to Tuesday, April 30.
