Heavy snow, rain causes closures, delays throughout Southern Nevada

LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Winter weather conditions caused delayed openings and closures throughout Southern Nevada on Wednesday.

As of 5:11 p.m., I-11 South from the Hoover Dam to Boulder City Parkway is closed, according to RTC of Southern Nevada. I-40 East is also closed East of Kingman, Arizona at the US-93 through Ashfork. Officials said there are heavy delays due to winter weather and parts of the interstates were closed for hours. Arizona officials posted this updated list of closures at 6:02 p.m.

Southbound I-15 lanes reopened at the state line at 10:50 a.m. after being closed for nearly two hours at Primm due to heavy snow on the road, according to RTC of Southern Nevada.

I-95 from Beatty to Tonopah has been closed "until further notice," according to town officials in Beatty, though I-19 from Beatty to Las Vegas remains open. Nevada State Police say I-15 Southbound at Primm re-opened at 2 p.m. They add that SR 146 and SR 164 are both back open. If you're driving through SR 146, chains or snow tires are required.

Rain came down across the Las Vegas valley Wednesday morning with neighborhoods above 3,000 feet in elevation even seeing some snow. That included the west and south side of Las Vegas such as Lone Mountain, Summerlin, Rhodes Ranch, and Anthem.

Snow on the road has caused a delayed opening at Red Rock Canyon Scenic Drive on Wednesday morning. Officials reopened the Scenic Drive at 12:45 p.m.

Similarly, Gov. Joe Lombardo announced a delayed opening for all Nevada government offices on Wednesday morning due to "unsafe driving conditions."
