Traffic on the Interstate 15 near the state line between Nevada and California was slow Monday as travelers wrapped up the Labor Day holiday.

The Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada said southbound I-15 saw travel delays as visitors headed back to California.

At 1 p.m., the southbound lanes were backed up about 5 miles. The backup was cleared by 4:35 p.m.

The agency previously recommended that travelers avoid the I-15 southbound to California between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. Monday.

Las Vegas was among the top Labor Day destinations, according to AAA.
