215 stretch near I-15 limited to 1 lane overnight

Motorists should expect significant overnight traffic on the 215 Beltway in the southern Las Vegas Valley tied to an $84.6 million widening project.

The multiweek portion of the project began Tuesday on the eastbound Beltway, which will be down to one open travel lane from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays, between Las Vegas and Jones boulevards, according to Clark County. All travel lanes will be open on Fridays and Saturdays .

Associated freeway ramp closures that are scheduled between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. this week:

■ Tuesday: Decatur Boulevard on-ramp to 215 eastbound.

■ Wednesday: Decatur on-ramp to 215 westbound.

■ Thursday: 215 eastbound off-ramp to Las Vegas Boulevard.

■ Friday: 215 eastbound ramp to Interstate 15 northbound; I-15 northbound ramp to 215 southbound; Las Vegas Boulevard on-ramp to 215 westbound.

On Sunday, another round of closures will begin on 215 eastbound between Jones and Las Vegas Boulevard. The closures are scheduled to occur from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, with one lane open during that time on the stretch of 215.

Ramp closures associated with the 215 eastbound work:

■ Sunday: Decatur on-ramp to 215 eastbound between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m.

■ Sept. 13: 215 westbound off-ramp to Decatur, 10 p.m. to 4 a.m.

The full project’s scope includes widening the Beltway between Jones and I-15, adding a lane in both directions for a total of five lanes in each direction.

The project began last month and is scheduled for completion in spring 2025, with work at various hours and overnight lane restrictions.

The new westbound lane will extend to Jones, while the new eastbound lane will run from Decatur to I-15. Pavement repairs and resurfacing, upgrading drainage facilities, and installing new signage and lighting along the work area are also planned.
