In the game "SimCity," knocking down a bridge and re-doing an intersection is as simple as a few clicks. But in real life, it takes a lot more effort and makes a much larger mess. We are about to get a hard lesson with NDOT's Phase 2 of the I-15 Tropicana Project, lovingly referred to as "Dropicana."
They will close ramps, demolish bridges, and shut down Interstate 15 around Tropicana for a couple days starting Tuesday, Jan. 17, marking the start of impactful and intense work, rebuilds, etc. to our roads.
Key dates you need to be aware of for this project:
Tuesday, Jan. 17th
- Interstate 15 Southbound ramps to Tropicana Avenue, both east and west bound, will be closed.
- Flyover to Tropicana Avenue eastbound/towards Las Vegas Strip is expected to be closed for 18 months.
- Ramp to Tropicana Avenue westbound is expected to be closed for 9 months.
Obviously there is a lot to take in. Hopefully this helps you navigate the mess. NDOT also has I15Trop.com and the I-15 Trop app to help you around the mess. Happy traveling!
