The 215 will be closed in both directions at the Airport Connector from 9 p.m. Nov. 18 to 5 a.m. Nov. 21, while crews install parts of a flyover off-ramp over the highway.
 
Drivers headed to McCarran International Airport will be able to use the 215 to get to the Airport Connector, however, they should expect significant delays as motorists who fail to get off the 215 earlier will also be forced onto the Airport Connector.

The ramp from the Airport Connector to Sunset Road will also be closed during the same hours.
 
Drivers leaving McCarran will be able to access 215 west from the Airport Connector, but the ramp from the Airport Connector to 215 east will be closed during this period. This means that drivers going from the airport towards Henderson will need to find an alternate route.
 
Drivers are advised to avoid this part of the 215 entirely this weekend, if possible, as even exits approaching the closure will probably be congested.
 
Eastbound 215 traffic not headed to the airport should get off the 215 at Jones, Decatur or Las Vegas boulevards.
 
Westbound 215 traffic not headed to the airport should get off the 215 at Eastern Avenue, Windmill Lane or Warm Springs Road.
 
Drivers headed from the Interstate 15 to 215 east and not headed to the airport should get off I-15 at Blue Diamond Road or St. Rose Parkway.
