After a week of paving work snarling traffic along Interstate 15, another round of roadwork will continue the congestion into the weekend. The final Project Neon paving and striping efforts dubbed Pave-A-Palooza will close northbound I-15 between Sahara Avenue and D Street.
The Nevada Highway Patrol will eventually start enforcing the new rules on HOV lanes and the 30-day grace period before fining drivers.
Project Neon paving beings as traffic piles up due to lane closures on the US-95 South.
Construction workers began installing 3,000 steel posts along Las Vegas Strip sidewalks early Tuesday morning to protect pedestrians from nearby traffic. Government officials say the 4-foot-tall posts are strong enough to stop a flatbed truck traveling 55 mph. (Mat Luschek / Review-Journal)
