First segment of new Interstate 11 opens

The first segment of southbound Interstate 11 will open at 5 a.m. Tuesday.

It runs more than two miles between Railroad Pass hotel and U.S. Highway 95.

Drivers headed south on U.S. Highway 93 will be directed onto southbound I-11’s lanes near the casino.

From there, vehicles will get to use a new 600-foot-long flyover bridge that connects I-11 with the overlapping U.S. highways 93 and 95.

Drivers headed north on U.S. 93 won’t get to use I-11, but traffic lanes will be slightly shifted so that crews can complete the freeway.
