Spaghetti Bowl ramp closures to affect traffic in Downtown Las Vegas

A series of overnight closures at the Spaghetti Bowl will snarl downtown traffic this week.

Drivers will be affected for multiple days during the Spaghetti Bowl work, which includes painting and other tasks associated with Project Neon, the nearly $1 billion, 4-mile-long widening of Interstate 15 from the U.S. Highway 95 interchange to Sahara Avenue, the Nevada Department of Transportation announced last week.

Here’s what motorists can expect:

Sunday night-Monday morning

■ U.S. 95 southbound to I-15 northbound will be closed from 10 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday.

■ The Martin Luther King Boulevard on-ramp to I-15 northbound will be closed from 10 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday.

Monday night-Tuesday morning

■ U.S. 95 southbound to I-15 northbound will be closed from 10 p.m. Monday until 5 a.m. Tuesday.

■ The Martin Luther King Boulevard on-ramp to I-15 northbound will be closed from 10 p.m. Monday until 5 a.m. Tuesday.

Tuesday night-Wednesday morning

■ U.S. 95 northbound to I-15 southbound will be closed from 11 p.m. Tuesday until 4 a.m. Wednesday.

■ I-15 southbound to U.S. 95 north and southbound will be closed from 10 p.m. Tuesday until 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Wednesday night-Thursday morning

■ U.S. 95 southbound to I-15 northbound will be closed from 10 p.m. Wednesday until 5 a.m. Thursday.
