Asphalt spill closes 215 Beltway ramp to airport connector

Updated July 28, 2020 - 8:30 am

A tanker truck spilling asphalt forced the closure of a ramp at the 215 Beltway near the airport connector early Tuesday.

The truck appeared to have run over a curb and was leaking asphalt shortly after 6:30 a.m., Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Travis Smaka said. No collision was involved.

“The ramp will be closed until they can get the spill cleaned up,” Smaka said.

As of 10 a.m., the Regional Transportation Commission tweeted the ramp remained close for cleanup work.
