Mesquite, NV-

The I-15 Freeway is doing way better compared to previous weeks as it appears the changes the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has made are helping with the congestion of traffic. There is some traffic backing up due to the time of day presently and more people are on the freeway traveling.

I-15 Southbound has been reported way smoother travel, especially by construction areas and where NDOT has opened back up to two lanes on the climb up Mormon Mesa. There is still some traffic backed up by Mesquite at both the Beaver Dam Bridge and south of Mesquite since they are down to one lane but better than in the last month.

I-15 Northbound is experiencing traffic problems by Beaver Dam Bridge, but afterward clear sailing.

The back routes through Bunkerville, Mesquite, and Littlefield are seeing steady traffic but also smooth sailing.

Remember that things may change during the weekend as there is the Clark County Fair and Rodeo going on south of Mesquite in Logandale and also a Festival and Vendor Market in St. George, Utah.

Once again expect major traffic problems and please all drivers be careful and drive at the posted speeds.
