“Olympia Southern California Travel Advisory”
Travel Advisory: Upcoming Weekend Road Closures on I-15.
September 29th through October 29th timeframe. I wanted to inform you that there will be road construction that may cause delays if you are driving from Southern California to Sin City for the Olympia.
CalTrans will be shutting down portions of I-15 on weekends beginning Sep 29th - Oct 29th, however, detour routes will be available. During construction, crews will be replacing damaged pavement, adding a northbound truck-climbing lane and improving the roadway’s shoulders and guardrails. These road closures may add hours and miles to your driving journey.
To accommodate traffic going to and from Las Vegas, Caltrans will start its lane closures and work on northbound I-15 lanes (headed toward Las Vegas) at 11 p.m. on Fridays and end work on northbound lanes by 5 a.m. Monday. Work on southbound lanes (toward Los Angeles) will start at 9 a.m. on Friday and end by 1 p.m. Sunday. This schedule is designed to avoid peak travel times between L.A. and Vegas. For an update on construction, call the CALTRANS hotline at (800) 427-ROAD or go to www.caltrans8.info. To help avoid the construction and make your Vegas trip easier.
So if you are planning on traveling to Las Vegas for the Olympia via automobile during the road work, please allow extra time to get to your designation and most importantly, drive safely.
