Interstate 15 remains closed from mile marker 64 to 112 (Glendale to Mesquite) due to road erosion caused by rushing flood waters. NDOT will make repairs as immediately as possible.

NDOT officials ask that drivers avoid flooded areas if at all possible. Motorists should plan ahead, expect delays and use alternate routes. Drivers are asked to avoid driving through water because the depth is hard to gauge. Nevada maps for potential detour routes are available by selecting “Travel Info” on www.nevadadot.com.
