F Street Connection Project (underneath I-15)
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 will take approximately 20
months and finish in late 2014.
On Sunday, June 2, on the
first phase of multiphase project began. Motorists can expect lane reductions
and traffic shifts on northbound and southbound I-15 between U.S. 95 and
Washington. The initial work consists of lane shifts, the removal of median
barrier rail and high mast lighting as well as temporary paving for future
Phase 2 lane shifts.
Changeable message signs will be
placed throughout the work zone and the speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph
in the work zone. Project work hours will run nightly from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.,
Sunday night through Friday morning.
Starting
at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 2: Work will commence on the
northbound I-15 lanes between U.S. 95 and Washington. Lanes will be shifted to
the right (east), with three travel lanes, one exit lane to D Street and
minimized shoulders (two feet). In addition, rolling lane closures will take
place throughout the night.
For the week of June 3-6:
On Monday and Tuesday June 3-4, southbound I-15 lanes will be shifted to the
right (west) and reduced from four travel lanes to three in order to restripe
the southbound lanes. Rolling lane closures will also take place throughout the
night.
There
will be lane closures on the median side of northbound and southbound I-15
onTuesday, Wednesday and Thursdaynight (June 4-6)
to allow for the placement of temporary barrier rail to create a safe
work zone.

I-15 Cactus Avenue Interchange Project
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. Through the end of 2013,
motorists can expect lane reductions and traffic shifts on I-15 between
Silverado Ranch and St. Rose Parkway as part of the I-15 interchange project at
Cactus Avenue.
Through the end of 2013: Northbound
I-15 will be reduced from three lanes to two lanes between the Silverado
Ranch and St. Rose Parkway Interchanges.
Starting June 3,
2013: Southbound I-15 traffic in the area will be shifted to the
northbound side (eastern half) of the freeway. The northbound side of I-15
will be reconfigured to accommodate three southbound lanes and two northbound
lanes. Upon completion of work on the western half of I-15, traffic will
shift to the southbound side (western half) of the freeway.
Three southbound lanes will be maintained at all times
except from 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. nightly, Monday night through Friday morning.
Two northbound lanes will be maintained at all times except
between the hours of 9 p.m. and 5 a.m., nightly, Sunday night through

U.S. 95 Northwest Corridor Improvements

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
