The I-15/US-95 Demonstration Project is an initiative by NDOT to examine the effectiveness, value and functionality of "managed High Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes," also commonly referred to as "Express Lanes," as a solution to Las Vegas Valley's growing traffic congestion problem. The project also serves as a pilot to determine the potential use of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to help the state meet its transportation and infrastructure challenges. The I-15/US-95 Express Lanes would be established to take advantage of the capacity available in existing High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes within the I-15/US-95 corridor. The Express Lanes will run approximately 19 miles from the northwest Las Vegas Valley to the airport along I-15/US-95 (at Ann Road) to the southern Las Vegas Beltway (I-215). Convenient access ramps will be added and will extend over the Spaghetti Bowl interchange downtown.
