Interchange Almost Complete: But WILL NOT OPEN

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

I covered a “What’s Driving You Crazy” question today that has everyone talking!  Someone asked me when the new Lake Mead & 215 interchange is going to open.  Well, I found out, it will be done in about 2 weeks…. but, it won’t open. 

There is a verbal agreement between Public Works, the County Commissioners, the city of Las Vegas, and Sun City residents.   The county says it was agreed that the interchange would stay closed until the Summerlin Parkway interchange opens in 2010.  Sun City residents were very vocal about this.  This was decided about 10 years ago during public meetings about this project.

Unless the county hears otherwise, the interchange will sit there…. finished… for two years.

What do you think?

I’m sure there are two sides here.  I am curious to hear both sides!
