ORIGINAL STORY
U.S. 95 is shut down in both directions at Lake Mead Boulevard as of 4:50 p.m. Wednesday.
Traffic cameras in that area showed a large police presence in that area of the freeway.
In an email to Channel 13, Nevada State Police-Highway Patrol said the closure was due to "a person who is over the Lake Mead overpass, hanging on the outside of the fence at this time."
State police say officers are speaking with the person.
The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada sent out an alert warning drivers of the closure and advising them to use alternate routes.
This is a developing story. Updates will be shared as they become available.
