Las Vegas, NV – Drivers traveling through central Las Vegas are facing major delays today after a fatal crash forced the closure of several lanes and ramps along Interstate 15 near Spring Mountain Road.
According to the Nevada State Police, I-15 northbound at Spring Mountain is fully closed following a deadly collision reported earlier today. The crash prompted authorities to shut down multiple connecting roadways as investigators work the scene.
Police say the following closures are currently in effect: I-15 northbound to Spring Mountain west, I-15 southbound to Spring Mountain west, westbound Spring Mountain Road between the I-15 northbound on-ramp and Polaris Avenue, and Polaris Avenue at Spring Mountain Road. Officials warn that these closures could remain in place for up to four hours.
The shutdown impacts one of the busiest travel corridors in Las Vegas, near major resorts, businesses, and commuter routes. Drivers are urged to avoid the area entirely and use alternate routes while emergency crews and investigators remain on scene.
No additional details about the victim or circumstances surrounding the crash have been released at this time. Authorities have not indicated when lanes are expected to reopen, and traffic delays are likely to extend into surrounding surface streets.
Motorists heading through the Las Vegas Strip area, Chinatown, or southwest valley should plan for extra travel time and monitor traffic updates closely throughout the day.
Nevada State Police say further updates will be provided as the investigation continues and road conditions change.
