Las Vegas, Nev. – The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has released the draft Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study report. The I-11 PEL study was initiated in 2019, and after years of study and public outreach efforts, and the results have been published in the report. 
 
Based on evaluation criteria and extensive assessments, the central corridor alternative (currently I-515 and US 95) was identified as the best performing corridor and has been recommended for interstate highway designation through the Las Vegas metropolitan area. 
 
NDOT invites you to attend the upcoming virtual meeting and telephone town hall for the I-11 for the Las Vegas metropolitan area. The virtual public meeting and telephone town hall serve as opportunities for interested parties to review the findings of the draft PEL report and to submit feedback to help identify any additional critical issues that should be considered in the analysis of the recommended corridor for the final PEL study.

PROJECT PURPOSE: The I-11 Corridor will provide a Congressionally mandated interstate ultimately connecting Las Vegas to major metropolitan areas. I-11, once complete, is meant to connect regional economies and provide an important link for extending the I-11 Corridor as part of a cohesive Interstate Highway System. I-11 will provide for improved wayfinding, reliability, and enhanced connectivity.
