The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is urging drivers to plan for full directional closures of Interstate 15 (I-15) and associated ramps over two consecutive weekends in July and August 2024 as part of the “Pave-A-Thon” effort. These closures are necessary for a pavement rehabilitation project between Warm Springs and Flamingo roads.
While this project is not directly related to the I-15/Tropicana Interchange work, it was included in the contract due to the necessity of the improvements and the availability of equipment along the I-15 corridor. Additionally, several overhead signs and two Active Traffic Management (ATM) gantries will be installed. These full-colored LED signs will provide real-time driver information to help motorists navigate upcoming incidents and lane restrictions, particularly in the resort corridor on I-15. The ATM gantries will be installed north of the Tropicana Ave bridge.
Closure Schedule:
Northbound I-15: CLOSED from Warm Springs Rd to Flamingo Rd from 9:00 p.m. Friday, July 26 to 5:00 a.m. Monday, July 29. Northbound I-15 between Russell and Flamingo roads will REOPEN by 5:00 a.m. Sunday, July 28.
Southbound I-15: CLOSED from Flamingo Rd to Warm Springs Rd from 9:00 p.m. Friday, August 2 to 5:00 a.m. Monday, August 5.
