I-15 southbound in California to be reduced to 1 lane at Nipton

LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) - If you’re heading to California be prepared to face longer than normal travel times as road repairs will reduce lanes.

Nevada State Police said I-15 southbound at Mile Marker 174 is currently reduced to one lane for a bridge repair. The area is in California near Nipton Road and was damaged after flash flooding in the area last week.

NDOT said it is unclear how long the repairs are expected to take but construction will halt over the Labor Day weekend and resume following the holiday.

Update #1: SB I-15 work continues south of Nipton Rd in Mountain Pass for emergency bridge work due to erosion that occurred during last weeks storm. Crews working throughout the night to repair Wheaton Wash. Use US-95 to I-40 to go around construction. #Caltrans8 pic.twitter.com/mhCTqFB6ht
