Nevada Highways to Get $17 Million Boost in Federal Money
The real headline number might be “10″, as that is the number of lanes I-15 will grow to when planned construction begins in 2008. The pace of growth means that the city’s highways can no longer support the volume of traffic, as any rush hour commuter can attest. The federal government is kicking in $10 million for the I-15 project – the remaining $7 million goes to other highway projects around the state. While good news in the long term, valley drivers will have to deal with two years of construction … the I-15 project is expected to wrap up in 2010.
