215 Beltway ramp near Las Vegas airport closed for cleanup

A stretch of road on the 215 Beltway leading to McCarran International Airport is closed Wednesday morning for a cleanup of asphalt.

As of 6:30 a.m., the airport connector ramp coming from Henderson is closed so crews can clean up several hundred gallons of asphalt.

The spill occurred about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when a tanker truck went off the road. No collision was involved, according to the Nevada Highway Patrol.

It is unknown how long the ramp will be closed Wednesday.
