Freeway lane and ramp closures are planned tonight and throughout the weekend as the Nevada Department of Transportation begins final paving and striping for Project Neon.
In what NDOT calls a Pave-A-Looza marathon, crews will lay down an asphalt mix incorporating shredded tires for a smoother, quieter ride, officials said.
NDOT advises drivers to be careful while traveling through work zones and heed signs.
Project NEON, a nearly $1 billion, 4-mile widening of Interstate 15 from the U.S. 95 interchange to Sahara Avenue, is slated to be completed in mid-July.
