Paving Nevada's Future
Current Status
The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) hosted an Online Public Meeting that was available from July 31 – August 31, 2020 regarding the Interstate 11 (I-11) Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The goal of the NDOT I-11 Tier 1 EIS is to identify a preferred I-11 corridor extending through the Las Vegas metropolitan area, between the Arizona border on US 93 and the vicinity of Kyle Canyon Road on US 95. A Tier 1 EIS will be prepared for the project to evaluate potential corridors with the intent to obtain a Record of Decision (ROD) from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) that will select a single corridor along which to build future I-11 projects.
