Road crews were making good progress toward re-opening a washed-out stretch of I-15 north of Las Vegas, a transportation spokeswoman said Thursday. Workers hope to open one freeway lane in each direction by Friday afternoon to get traffic moving again along the busy truck and tourist route connecting Las Vegas and Salt Lake City.
The patched-up road might be able to carry only passenger vehicles, with long-haul trucks detoured onto two-lane highways on a roundabout route through Panaca, Nevada, and Cedar City, Utah. Oversized loads are banned altogether.
