NEVADA (KTNV) — President Donald Trump is supporting a major transportation project in Southern Nevada.

President Trump sent a Tweet about awarding $50 million to the Nevada Department of Transportation on Thursday to help reconstruct the Tropicana Avenue and Interstate 15 interchange.

The president continued on social media to say the project is of importance to help reduce and improve traffic in the highly-traveled area of Las Vegas.

Project managers previously said the nearly $200 million planned upgrade will overall make things easier on drivers.
