Clark County has launched a $49.5 million project to upgrade the I-215 and Airport Connector interchange in Las Vegas. The initiative aims to reduce congestion and improve access to Harry Reid International Airport.
The project will widen the northbound Airport Connector from three to four lanes and expand the Sunset Road off-ramp to two lanes. Crews will also construct a new ramp linking eastbound I-215 to the Airport Connector, add bridge structures and retaining walls, and realign ramps to improve traffic flow.
Additional upgrades include new medians, sidewalks, lighting, signage, and intelligent transportation system components. County officials said the project is part of a broader regional mobility strategy that coordinates road improvements near the airport and along the southern beltway.
Las Vegas Paving Corporation is serving as the project’s general contractor. Funding comes from county transportation revenues and regional infrastructure allocations.
