Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- If you are looking for a relief on the roads, this may be music to your ears.

Nevada Department of Transportation says that the 27-million-dollar Summerlin HOV flyover is finished and should help ease some serious road congestion.

When it is finally opened, the flyover will connect the center of U.S. 95 to Summerlin parkway.

The flyover will prevent cars in the HOV lane from having to weave across four lanes of traffic to connect to the parkway, which will improve safety. It will also have the benefit of improving bus service.

The U.S. 95 North project will be finished in a few more months.

NDOT anticipates having a new HOV lane in each direction complete by October.
