I-15 Nighttime Shutdown All Week | Transportation

A once-intermittent traffic closure will become more regular this week in North Las Vegas.

As work on North 5th Street Bridge continues, crews will be closing down the southbound lanes of Interstate 15 from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Tuesday through Friday, Aug. 3.

The southbound detour will be to exit I-15 southbound at Cheyenne Avenue to the right, then making a left onto Losee Road, left onto Lake Mead Boulevard, which leads back to the southbound I-15 on-ramp.

The detour is needed for crews to put up steel girders across the southbound lanes of I-15 for the North 5th Street Bridge.

This $30 million bridge improvement is part of the City’s North 5th Street Arterial project. The North 5th Street Bridge is expected to be complete in 2013.
