  • HOV flyover from I-15 North to U.S. 95 North

Nevada DOT says the 215 Beltway and U.S. 95 are good options to avoid the closure over the weekend. To access U.S. 95 North, NDOT suggests using streets west if I-15. To access U.S. 95 South, the agency suggests using streets east of I-15.

The ongoing Project Neon is 96% finished and is expected to be nearly completed by mid-July.

Additionally, in Phoenix, the Arizona Department of Transportation will close I-10 Eastbound between 83rd and 51st avenues for construction of the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway.

The closure will occur from 9 p.m. Friday through 4 a.m. Monday. ADOT suggests drivers consider taking Loop 101 west of I-17 to get around the closure.
