Tropicana bridge over I-15 to close for multiple days

Updated November 3, 2023 - 9:59 am

The Tropicana Avenue Bridge over Interstate 15 is scheduled for a multiday full closure beginning this weekend.

Tropicana eastbound and westbound will close to traffic between 9 a.m. Nov. 5 and 5 a.m. Nov. 8.

“The closure is necessary for traffic changes ahead of the Las Vegas Grand Prix F1 event,” NDOT spokesman Justin Hopkins said in a statement.

Motorists traveling east and west should use Flamingo Road, Harmon Avenue or Hacienda Avenue during the closure.

The work is part of the $305 million I-15/Tropicana project.

Tropicana Avenue will close again from 11 p.m. Nov. 19 to 5 a.m. Nov. 22 to remove the temporary Formula One setup.

Other upcoming work tied to the project includes:

— Frank Sinatra Drive will be closed between Excalibur Way and Arena Drive on multiple occasions. Between 1 a.m. and 8 a.m. Nov. 4 and between midnight and 7 a.m. Nov. 5.

Access to Arena Drive will remain open from the north. Access to Excalibur Way will be accessible from the south. Pedestrians will be rerouted.
