Nevada DOT opens 2nd longest bridge in state

Sept. 28, 2020

The bridge is part of the $73 million Centennial Bowl interchange project that broke ground in Las Vegas in January 2019.

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) is opening the state’s second longest bridge in Las Vegas. The 75-ft-tall 2,635-ft-long flyover will connect northbound U.S. Highway 95 with the westbound 215 Beltway in northwest Las Vegas. The 13-span concrete structure is the equivalent length of seven football fields laid end-to-end. It is part of the $73 million Centennial Bowl interchange project that broke ground in January 2019.

According to an NDOT statement, flyover ramps enable direct freeway-to-freeway connections while still maintaining highway travel speeds for greater efficiency and safety. The bridge also eliminates the current stop-and-go surface street travel currently needed when navigating the U.S. Highway 95-215 Beltway interchange, while providing added capacity for future growth.
