The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) announced last week that there will be a 24-hour-a-day right lane closure north and southbound along Interstate-15 in Mesquite beginning on Wednesday, Feb. 17 and continuing through Friday, March 11.
The closure is needed in order to extend the interstate shoulder as part of the new $14.7 million diamond interchange at Milepost 118 being constructed by the City of Mesquite. The restriction will takes place 2,500 feet in each direction from Milepost 117.5. Meadow Valley Contractors is the design-build contractor, with Horrocks Engineers as construction manager.
“The new exit will limit heavy truck traffic on surface streets for smoother commutes, while creating a direct link to the 800-acre master-planned Mesquite Technology and Commerce Center for improved pick-up and drop-off efficiency,” said NDOT spokesman Tony Illia.
The project is scheduled to finish in June. Motorists should use caution while travelling through the work zone, heed construction signage, and take alternate routes, if possible. For current road information go to: www.nvroads.com.
