Las Vegas, NV (KXNT) - U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will be in Las Vegas on Tuesday to help launch the I-15/Tropicana Interchange Construction Project. The Vegas stop is part of a trip to Nevada to highlight President Biden's infrastructure agenda.
This Tropicana/15 project will eventually replace the nearly 60-year-old Tropicana bridge, as well as accommodate capacity for future growth and access around nearby Allegiant Stadium.
Buttigieg will be accompanied by Governor Steve Sisolak and The Nevada Department of Transportation.
Construction on the project is set to begin later this year and finish in 2024. It’s estimated to support 4,664 jobs.
While in town, Buttigieg will also tour the Carpenters International Training Center and hold a town hall with labor leaders and union members.
