Paving Nevada's Future
Current Status
Currently, the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) has an Online Public Meeting available from July 31 – August 31, 2020 and your feedback matters regarding the Interstate 11 (I-11) Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
The Project is now in its scoping phase. During this phase, the project team will begin identifying and developing corridor alternatives, identifying potential impacts to our community’s resources, and identifying project-related concerns through the proactive partnership of various agencies and local entities.
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.
