I-11 Feasibility Study, Kyle Canyon Road to Mercury Highway
This study will build upon the 2018 I-11 Northern Nevada Alternatives Analysis to advance past decisions to determine what specific improvements are needed to convert US 95 between Kyle Canyon Road and Mercury Highway to an access-controlled interstate highway facility.
I-11 Las Vegas Metropolitan Area PEL Study
The I-11 Las Vegas Metropolitan Area Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) study was initiated in early 2021, utilizing information and analysis already underway, to identify and evaluate reasonable corridor alternatives considered for I-11 through the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The reasonable corridor alternatives were evaluated during the process for environmental and social impacts, and potential avoidance, minimization, or mitigation measures were identified. The activities typically included in a tiered National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process were incorporated, including development of a project purpose and need, identification and evaluation of reasonable corridor alternatives, and analysis of anticipated environmental and social impacts. The result of the PEL process selected the central corridor (currently I-515 and US 95) for future I-11 interstate highway designation through the Las Vegas metropolitan area, between the Henderson Interchange at I-515/I-215 and the vicinity of Kyle Canyon Road on U.S. 95. The adoption and use of the PEL study in the NEPA process is subject to determination by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The result of the study will produce a joint FHWA and NDOT Decision Document that will state not only their approval of the PEL process, as is required for an appropriate PEL process, but also include the FHWA’s approval of the selected alternative.

I-11 Northern Nevada Alternatives Analysis
In 2018, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) completed an Alternatives Analysis effort for the Interstate 11 (I-11) corridor between the northwest edge of Las Vegas and I-80 in western Nevada. This recommended corridor alternatives to advance into future National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) studies.
The purpose of the Northern Nevada Alternatives Analysis study was to build on the recommendations of the 2014 I-11 and Intermountain West Corridor Study by developing and evaluating specific corridor alternatives linking Las Vegas with I-80. The goal was to identify recommended corridor(s) to advance into future studies.
