MESQUITE, NEV. – The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is making paving improvements to the north and southbound Interstate 15 on and offramps at Exits 120 and 122 in Mesquite, resulting in the following closures:

Tuesday, June 16

• The Pioneer/Sandhill boulevards onramp to northbound Interstate 15 will be closed from 5 a.m. until 3 p.m. in Mesquite.

Tuesday, June 22

• The north and southbound Interstate 15 on and offramps at Exit 120 (Falcon Ridge Parkway) will be closed intermittently from 12:01 a.m. until 5 p.m., June 22, in Mesquite.

Tuesday—Thursday, June 23-25

• The north and southbound Interstate 15 on and offramps at Exit 122 (Pioneer/Sandhill boulevards) will be closed intermittently from 12:01 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily, June 23 through June 25, in Mesquite.

Tuesday—Friday, June 23-26

• Pioneer/Sandhill boulevards will be reduced to a single lane between Hillside Drive and Mesa Boulevard from 12:01 a.m. until 5 p.m. daily, June 23 through June 26, in Mesquite.

The temporary closures are needed for a $9.1 million, 5.3-mile upgrade to Interstate 15 between West Mesquite Boulevard to the Arizona border that calls for milling and placing new asphalt roadway in both directions along Interstate 15 as well as repairing and resurfacing the freeway bridge decks at Exit 120 and Exit 122. Las Vegas Paving is the general contractor. The 6-month project, which began in early April, also calls for placing new signage, drainage and lighting, among other improvements. Work is occurring in up to 2-mile increments Monday through Friday.

Motorists should use caution while travelling through the work zone, heed construction signage, and take alternate detour routes, if possible. NDOT works with Waze to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but unscheduled construction changes, closures and restrictions are possible due to weather or other factors.

The department actively practices COVID-19-related public health and safety protocols, including social distancing of six feet or more and restricting groups to 10 or less, thereby keeping our team, families and communities safe and connected.
