Travel on Interstate 15 near downtown Las Vegas will be impacted on a pair of overnights this week.

The following lane closures will occur during both days:

— A right travel lane along I-15 southbound between Charleston and Sahara.

— The U.S. Highway 95 southbound ramp to I-15 southbound will have a left lane closure from the Pinto Lane on-ramp to Oakey Boulevard.

— A right lane closed on I-15 southbound from Oakey to Sahara.

Motorists are asked to use caution while traveling through the work zone, heed construction signage, and take alternate routes if possible.
