A half-mile-long highway interchange bridge under construction in Las Vegas won’t be finished until the fall, but it already has carried a heavy load in terms of the complexity of its construction.
The Nevada Dept. of Transportation (NDOT) project is being built on a small construction footprint within a tight schedule—and in the middle of traffic from the two major highways it will connect. The 2,635-ft-long flyover will join northbound U.S. Highway 95 to the westbound 215 beltway in northwest Las Vegas, part of a metro area that adds about 1,500 residents a week.
