Overnight road work to impact U.S. 95 traffic next week
Motorists should brace for overnight traffic disruptions this week on U.S. Highway 95 near downtown.
Work on the $40 million U.S. 95 viaduct rehabilitation project will affect lanes Sunday through Friday, the Nevada Department of Transportation said.
The lane closures on the highway between Boulder Highway and Flamingo Road are needed for work crews to prepare to demolish the aging Desert Inn Road bridge.
The lane impacts include:
Sunday: The two right lanes of U.S. 95 north- and southbound between Boulder Highway and Flamingo will close from 9 p.m. Sunday until 5 a.m. Monday.
Monday: The two right lanes on U.S. 95 northbound between Boulder Highway and Flamingo will close between 9 p.m. Monday and 5 a.m. Tuesday.
Monday-Friday: U.S. 95 southbound will be reduced to a single lane from Boulder Highway to Flamingo between midnight and 5 a.m. daily.
Monday-Wednesday: The Boulder Highway onramp to U.S. 95 southbound will close between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. daily.
Tuesday-Friday: U.S. northbound between Boulder Highway and Flamingo will be reduced to a single traffic lane between midnight and 5 a.m. nightly During this same time period, the northbound offramp to Boulder Highway will also be closed.
