LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — As NDOT moves into Phase 5 of the Tropicana Interchanged Project, there will be new traffic restrictions on the west side of Tropicana Avenue.

Phases 3 and 4 continue, which significantly impacts traffic on Dean Martin Drive as crews reconstruct the Dean Martin Drive and Tropicana Avenue intersection.

Key traffic changes

11:00 p.m. Thursday, January 16 to 7:00 a.m. Friday, January 17:

  • Northbound Dean Martin Drive CLOSED just south of Tropicana Avenue
  • *Business access maintained

Beginning 5:00 a.m. Friday, January 17:

  • Dean Martin Drive, north of Tropicana Avenue: CLOSED
  • North and southbound Joey Bishop Drive OPEN to traffic
  • *Business access maintained

24/7 Monday, February 3 to Tuesday, February 18:

  • North and southbound Dean Martin Drive access to Tropicana Avenue: CLOSED
  • East and westbound Tropicana Avenue access to Dean Martin Drive: CLOSED
  • *Business access maintained

NDOT is also introducing Joey Bishop Drive, a new north-south route that runs underneath the Tropicana Avenue bridge adjacent to Interstate 15. This will serve as a detour while Dean Martin Drive is under construction.

As construction progresses, the traffic signal at Dean Martin Drive and Tropicana Avenue is expected to improve traffic, according to NDOT.
