Transportation officials are working to make traffic back to California after the Super Bowl go a little smoother.
Interstate 15’s part-time lane near Primm will be open for travelers heading back to California on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, the California Department of Transportation announced Thursday.
The department announced the part-time lane in August. The lane is on the right shoulder of southbound I-15 south of the Nevada-California border.
During Thanksgiving weekend, the extra lane helped alleviate congestion near the border by about 10 miles compared to 2022’s holiday weekend.
