Project Overview

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is beginning a $3.02M project in October 2024 to replace signage along the I-515/U.S. 95/U.S. 93 corridor from the Henderson Interchange to Kyle Canyon Road to reflect the Federal Highway Administration’s designation of this route as Interstate 11 (I-11). The FHWA officially designated this stretch as I-11 on November 24, 2023.

While the interstate now carries the I-11 designation, it will also retain its U.S. 95 and U.S. 93 designation, with I-11 taking precedence. The project, expected to be completed by fall 2025, involves replacing approximately 1,075 sign panels using existing overhead sign supports and foundations.

Most of the work will have minimal impact on traffic, but brief, temporary overnight traffic stoppages may be needed on I-11, I-15, and I-215 to ensure the safe installation of new signs. Lane or ramp restrictions may also be required throughout the project. NDOT will provide advance notice of any closures or restrictions to help drivers plan their routes.

The new signage supports the I-11 corridor’s goal to improve north-south travel and boost the regional economy by easing the flow of goods. NDOT is currently conducting a feasibility study to identify improvements necessary for converting U.S. 95 between Kyle Canyon Road and Mercury Highway into a fully access-controlled interstate highway. This study builds on the 2018 I-11 Northern Nevada Alternatives Analysis, aiming to refine past recommendations and guide future development.

Once completed, I-11 is expected to serve as a vital link between Mexico and Canada, supporting economic growth and connectivity in Nevada and the Intermountain West region. NDOT’s efforts to advance this project align with long-term goals to strengthen regional trade routes and create a more resilient and integrated transportation network.
