Mesquite, NV-
An immediate media release from the Nevada Department of Transportation was just sent and received.
Crews will begin around-the-clock repaving work on I-15 south of Mesquite, starting the evening of Sunday, April 24. Paving will occur in both the north- and southbound directions of I-15. The roadway will be reduced to one lane in either direction in work zones up to four miles. Crews will work double shifts, five days per week during the paving operation.

Expect the traffic to be busy all weekend, with better travel before 9:00 am and after 11:00 pm PST. There will likely be lots of back-ups, especially by the construction zones, but more on the Northbound side. Expect longer travel times on Sunday as the paving starts.
Remember, the major problem of traffic stoppage and congestion is the lack of drivers utilizing the zipper method of merging. Please be careful, respectful, and considerate of others when merging and traveling. Drive the posted speed limits and travel safely!
