I-15 road widening restrictions ahead for drivers

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – Drivers should expect several upcoming road restrictions due to the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) I-15 South Widening Project’s road work in the southwest Las Vegas valley.

Resurfacing road work will occur on the eastbound Blue Diamond Road to the northbound I-15 flyover ramp and the West Starr Avenue southbound off-ramp as part of the I-15 South Project: Sloan Road to Warm Springs Road.

Blue Diamond Road to Northbound I-15 Flyover Ramp

The eastbound Blue Diamond Road to northbound I-15 flyover ramp will be closed for resurfacing bridges on the Blue Diamond Interchange starting May 28 to June 6, nightly from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

During daytime hours between 5 a.m. and 8 p.m., traffic control will be in place to protect the new surface. Drivers can use the left turn at the eastbound Blue Diamond Road traffic signal to access northbound I-15.

West Starr Avenue Southbound Off-Ramp

Starting May 28 through late June daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., the West Starr Avenue southbound off-ramp will be closed daily for placing the footings for future sound walls. Drivers will be detoured to St. Rose Parkway.

The work is part of an $86 million project that will make improvements along nearly nine miles of I-15 between Sloan Road and Warm Springs Road. Speed through the work zone is reduced to 55 MPH. Motorists should use caution while traveling through work zones, and take alternate detour routes, if possible.
