Las Vegas, Nev. – A one-day closure of southbound I-515 (US 95) near downtown Las Vegas will occur this weekend as crews near the start of paving operations and the viaduct rehabilitation project tracks toward early completion.  This weekend’s work involves removing old crumb-rubber asphalt and preliminary striping for the freeway’s new, four-lane configuration. Additionally, the Eastern Ave. off-ramp from southbound I-515 will reopen ahead of schedule with a new lane and additional capacity for motorists.

Sunday, May 15 to Monday, May 16
