Asphalt spill closes 215 Beltway ramp to airport connector

Updated July 28, 2020 - 8:30 am

A tanker truck spilling asphalt forced the closure of a ramp at the 215 Beltway near the airport connector early Tuesday.

The truck appeared to have run over a curb and was leaking asphalt shortly after 6:30 a.m., Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Travis Smaka said. No collision was involved.

“The ramp will be closed until they can get the spill cleaned up,” Smaka said.

As of 10:20 a.m., the Regional Transportation Commission tweeted the ramp remained close for cleanup work.
