That is not yet determined; however, the results of a previous study indicate that additional lanes on I-15 will help reduce travel delays and improve safety and operations of the freeway. This project will determine whether widening is required, and where.

HOV lanes are already a part of I-15 through the Central Corridor. As NDOT continues to evaluate the efficacy of the HOV system, decisions from those evaluations will be incorporated into the project.

That is not yet determined, however, interchanges within the study limits include Russell, Tropicana, Flamingo, Spring Mountain, Sahara, and under-construction HOV interchange at Harmon. It is likely that each of these interchanges will be evaluated for possible improvement, especially north of Tropicana, as freeway improvements may necessitate improvements to the interchanges.

The project study area is looking at the needs adjacent to the I-15 corridor from Valley View to Las Vegas Boulevard. Where improvements to local roads are necessary, they will be considered, evaluated, and incorporated into the project if deemed beneficial to the operation of I-15.

It is not yet certain which improvements will be necessary to be constructed. In the desired situation that a project is identified and selected, it’s possible that construction may begin sometime around 2030. Depending on the alternative selected, the construction duration could take 3 to 4 years.

The project is still in the early phases. No determination has been made on what properties are needed or IF any properties will be needed for the project. It is not yet certain which improvements will be necessary to be constructed. A project alternative must be identified and selected first. When or if the time comes where properties will be acquired, NDOT will fully comply with Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970 (Uniform Act).
