I-15 set to close overnight next week near resort corridor

Interstate 15 near the resort corridor is set to be closed to traffic overnight next week.

I-15 northbound between Blue Diamond Road and the 215 Beltway will be closed to traffic between 9 p.m. Monday and 5 a.m. June 27, the Nevada Department of Transportation announced Tuesday.

The closure is needed to install a gantry over the freeway that will see a dynamic traffic management sign later added.

The work is part of the $305 million I-15/Tropicana Avenue project, which kicked off last year and is slated for completion in 2025. As part of the project, 10 active traffic management signs will be installed on I-15, similar to the ones added to the freeway during Project Neon. The signs allow officials to alert drivers to upcoming road work, crashes, lane closures and specials events in real time.

During the closure motorists heading northbound will be detoured onto Windmill Lane, to Las Vegas Boulevard, and then onto the 215 ramp to access I-15.
