NDOT Issues Traffic Alerts for EDC Las Vegas Events with I-15 and Sahara Avenue Closures Nevada transportation officials have issued detailed traffic alerts for drivers navigating the Las Vegas Valley during the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) events, warning of significant disruptions, intermittent road closures, and shifting traffic patterns. The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) emphasized the need for motorists to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and exercise caution during peak hours as the festival’s activities impact key corridors. The alerts focus on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and the resort corridor, where traffic is expected to be heavily congested. On Thursday, May 14, the southbound Interstate 15 off-ramp to eastbound Sahara Avenue will be closed from 5 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. This closure is directly tied to the EDC World Parade event, which will take place along Sahara Avenue. Additionally, the south bridge over Sahara Avenue near Las Vegas Boulevard will also be closed during the parade, further complicating traffic flow in the area. From Friday, May 15, to Sunday, May 17, at 10 a.m., NDOT anticipates altered traffic patterns on northbound I-15 near Exits 52, 54, and 58 in the Apex area. These changes are likely to cause delays and require drivers to adjust their routes. The impact extends to Las Vegas Boulevard, where traffic disruptions are expected between Nellis Boulevard and Apex, as well as Craig Road between Nellis Boulevard and Las Vegas Boulevard. NDOT highlighted that delays are most probable between 2 p.m. and 6 a.m., with the busiest periods occurring during the parade and festival events. Officials urged drivers to consider alternative routes to avoid congestion and avoid the affected areas during peak times.#ndot #electric_daisy_carnival #las_vegas_motor_speedway #sahara_avenue #las_vegas_boulevard
