Travelers and sports fans are facing significant disruptions this President's Day weekend in Las Vegas due to major road closures. Interstate 15, a key route through the city, is closed for construction work, particularly affecting those attending the Golden Knights game against Carolina at T-Mobile Arena. The closure of both I-15 and Tropicana Avenue, due to the teardown of the south end of the Tropicana overpass and a road project known as Dropicana 2.0, is prompting officials and venues to advise attendees to plan their routes carefully and leave early. T-Mobile Arena has adjusted by opening its doors early to accommodate the early arrivals. The Nevada Department of Transportation has released photos of the construction, emphasizing the need for motorists to find alternate routes between Russell to Flamingo exits. Additionally, parts of Route 101 have been closed due to a landslide, and further lane restrictions are expected on Las Vegas Boulevard as county crews upgrade infrastructure. The storm season is also causing concerns, with officials urging the public to limit travel, sign up for local alerts, and prepare for potential flooding and mudslides.
