The Nevada Department of Transportation has announced significant overnight closures on I-215 in Las Vegas starting tonight as part of the I-215 Pavement Preservation Project. The work will focus on installing Intelligent Transportation Systems to monitor traffic conditions in real-time, but will require the closure of the Warm Springs on-ramp to westbound I-215 and the Warm Springs Rd on-ramp to northbound Airport Connector from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 1 and Monday, February 2.
Why it matters
The closures may present a minor inconvenience for Las Vegas drivers accustomed to the convenience of quick on-ramps, but the upgrades to the roadway and new Intelligent Transportation Systems are designed to enhance traffic monitoring and management in the long run.

While the work is underway, the Warm Springs on-ramp to westbound I-215 and the Warm Springs Rd on-ramp to northbound Airport Connector will be closed nightly from 9:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, February 1 and Monday, February 2.
