Of the major freeways circing Las Vegas/Henderson, only I-515 (the
eastern Beltway) will remain free of construction activity. There is
construction in progress at the intersection of 215 and 515 in
Henderson, which backs up traffic several miles to the west. I-15
have work being done at several of the exits which will cut off one
or more lanes in the vicinity of Russell and again at Sahara. The
western Beltway is still incomplete but now doesn;t revert to local-
access until past Buffalo; it's stop-and-go from 4-6 PM but may
still be the best way out to NW Vegas if I-15 is jammed.
Also look out for work being done on I-15 southbound, north of
downtown, in the vicinity of the Cheyenne and Lake Mead exits.
If you wish to move about Vegas in the next few days, it would be a
good idea to bring your own helicopter.
