All travel lanes on the Clark County 215 beltway at Bradley Road will be shifted under the Bradley Bridge for a period of several months starting Thursday, the Clark County Department of Public Works announced.

The lane shift covers about a one-half mile of roadway along the northern beltway in order to complete the south approach for the new bridge.

Motorists are advised to drive with caution in the area due to the new traffic alignment.

The construction is part of a $116 million beltway widening and improvement project. Las Vegas Paving is contracted to complete the work, which is expected to be finished by summer 2014.
