Ramp closure
Sun Coverage
The ramp from northbound U.S. 95 to westbound Lake Mead Boulevard will be closed next week instead of this week, transportation officials said.
The ramp, exit 82B on the freeway in northwest Las Vegas, is now scheduled to close Monday and reopen March 12, Nevada Department of Transportation officials said.
Officials initially announced that the ramp would be closed this week, but the closure was delayed a week.
The closure is part of the U.S. 95 Northwest Widening Project to improve the freeway between Washington Avenue and Ann Road.
The $68 million project began in August and is scheduled to end this summer.
Crews are widening the freeway by adding a high-occupancy vehicle lane. It also calls for landscaping improvements and new sound walls
