The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is advancing to Phase 5 of the I-15/Tropicana Interchange Project, bringing new traffic restrictions to the west side of Tropicana Avenue. Meanwhile, Phases 3 and 4 continue, with significant impacts on Dean Martin Drive as crews reconstruct the Dean Martin Drive/Tropicana Avenue intersection.

Additionally, NDOT is proud to introduce Joey Bishop Drive, a new north-south route that runs underneath the Tropicana Avenue bridge, adjacent to Interstate 15 (I-15). Opening to traffic on Friday, January 17, this roadway will improve traffic flow for decades to come and serve as a vital detour while Dean Martin Drive undergoes construction. Named after Rat Pack member Joey Bishop, this new road gives the often-overlooked entertainer his chance to shine near the iconic Las Vegas Strip. As reconstruction progresses, removing the traffic signal at Dean Martin Drive and Tropicana Avenue will significantly improve traffic flow along the corridor.
