Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) -The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) will reduce southbound Interstate 15 down to two travel lanes between Jean and Primm in from 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. weekday before squeezing down to one lane from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. nightly, Monday nights through Friday mornings, starting the evening of May 24 and concluding the morning of October 21.
Lanes won’t be restricted on the weekends
The temporary closures are needed for a $10.8 million, 16-mile-long mill-and-pave upgrade project that also calls for installing a weigh-in-motion system at milepost 8, plus a full roadway rehabilitation of less than a half-mile of State Route 161 (Goodsprings Road) underneath the Jean interchange, among other improvements. The project will place about 100,000 tons of total asphalt or enough blacktop to pave more than 6,200 average-sized driveways.
The contractor (Las Vegas Paving) will be working in a two-mile-long moving operation starting in Jean and moving southbound toward Primm. Drivers can expect up to 10-minute travel delays when work is being done.
