Bridge over I-15 reopens after repairs

The Warm Springs Road bridge over Interstate 15 was reopened to traffic Wednesday after repair work was completed two days ahead of schedule.

All lanes on the bridge and on I-15 beneath it were returned to normal around 1 a.m., according to the Nevada Department of Transportation. Engineers had been working on the span since Monday night to repair a support damaged in a May 21 truck crash.

The $148,595 repair job will be billed to the company insuring the truck at fault.
