Commuters traveling the I-11 and U.S. 95 corridor will encounter nightly lane restrictions starting Sunday, September 27. The Nevada Department of Transportation is launching a six-mile pavement preservation project between Martin Luther King Boulevard and West Lake Mead Boulevard.
Why it matters
The project aims to improve long-term roadway safety and durability along a major arterial corridor. While the current phase runs through December 1, drivers should prepare for long-term construction impacts extending into 2027.
The six-mile corridor between mileposts 37.5 and 43.80 will see pavement improvements. Construction activities will be limited to 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. nightly to manage traffic flow.
The players
Nevada Department of Transportation
The state agency responsible for planning and executing the highway pavement preservation project.
The details
Crews will perform milling and paving work throughout the corridor while widening the southbound I-11 off-ramp at Jones Boulevard. Motorists must adhere to a reduced 55 mph speed limit within all active work zones. The project is currently scheduled for completion in winter 2027.
Timeline
Construction begins on September 27, 2026.
Nightly lane restrictions occur Sunday through Friday from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.
The initial phase of construction ends December 1, 2026.
Project completion is expected in winter 2027.
Beyond the Strip
This project follows the Nevada Department of Transportation's regional pavement preservation program for high-traffic freeways. It represents a recurring effort to mitigate roadway degradation caused by valley heat and heavy vehicle volume.
Drivers using the I-11 and U.S. 95 interchange should expect nightly delays starting this Sunday evening. Please observe the reduced 55 mph speed limit through the construction zone to ensure worker safety.
The takeaway
Expect nightly traffic disruptions on the I-11/U.S. 95 corridor through at least December 1. Check local traffic alerts during your evening commute for potential delays in the affected milepost range.
