Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Construction of a bridge expansion project will prompt temporary overnight closures of the ramps between the airport connector and the I-215.

The closures will happen overnight Monday, Sept. 10 and again on Thursday, Sept. 20.

The closures will be from 7 p.m. Monday until 5 a.m. Tuesday, and then from 7 p.m. Thursday until 5 a.m. Friday.

During the closure, the westbound I-215 ramp to the airport will not be affected and will serve as a detour. Eastbound I-215 traffic will be detoured to the Warm Springs exit and back onto I-215 to use the westbound ramp to the airport tunnel.

Traffic exiting the airport tunnel to westbound I-215 will not be affected. Traffic headed toward eastbound I-215 will be detoured to exit at Hidden Well Road and turn south on Gilespie Street to Warm Springs, where they can re-access I-215.

The airport connector bridge is the first of five bridges that will be expanded as part of Clark County Public Works' federally funded I-215 Airport Connector Phase 1.

The project started in January and is expected to be complete in January 2014.
