If you're heading to the Strip late Wednesday or early Thursday, expect traffic.

All lanes between Flamingo Road and Tropicana Avenue will be closed starting 11 p.m. Wednesday until 5 a.m. Thursday for filming, Metro officer Larry Hadfield said. Actor Matt Damon and cast are in town shooting scenes for the upcoming "Bourne" franchise film.

"Persons traveling in the area should expect delays," Hadfield wrote in an email.
