LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — A construction project in the northwest Las Vegas valley could slow down traffic as crews begin work along the Interstate 215 Beltway near Centennial Hills.
Clark County, which is in charge of the project, says crews will work on widening the interstate, creating three lanes in each direction.
Parts of the 215 beltway will see some added traffic over the next nine months.
Traffic will be reduced to one lane Sunday nights through Friday mornings, from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Then, each morning at 6 a.m., crews will pick up the cones and traffic will be back open with two lanes in each direction.
Commuters will be affected if they travel between the "Craig Road alignment" (just South of Lone Mountain) and the Centennial Bowl — the area where U.S. 95 intersects with I-215.
Work is already underway in the northbound direction of the I-215 where the interstate aligns with Craig Rd., but doest not intersect. Work in the southbound direction will begin in a few weeks.
Las Vegas Paving is the contractor for the project.
Clark County says work expected to be complete by July 2023.
