Road closures and construction has begun near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
It's part of the $33,000,000 project to widen Interstate 15 from Craig Road to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
If you've ever traveled to a major event at the speedway like Electric Daisy Carnival or NASCAR races, then you know how congested it can get on I-15 in both directions.
This project is meant to alleviate that congestion.
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) will be performing nightly paving upgrades along Interstate 15, near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, from October 22 through October 26, resulting in the following lane restrictions:
SUNDAY-MONDAY (October 22-23)
The right lanes along north and southbound Interstate 15 from the northbound Speedway Boulevard exit to 500 feet north will be closed from 7 p.m., October 22, until 5 a.m., October 23
MONDAY-TUESDAY (October 23-24)
The left lanes along north and southbound Interstate 15 from the northbound Speedway Boulevard exit to 500 feet north will be closed from 7 p.m., October 23, until 5 a.m., October 24
TUESDAY-WEDNESDAY (October 24-25)
The Clark County 215 Beltway onramp to southbound Interstate 15 will be closed from 7 p.m., October 24, until 5 a.m., October 25
WEDNESDAY-THURSDAY (October 25-26)
The southbound Interstate 15 exit to Lamb Boulevard will be closed from 7 p.m., October 25, until 5 a.m., October 26
As a result, Interstate 15 will have better lights, nicer landscape, and easier to read signs.
The project should be complete by early 2018.
