Las Vegas police Sgt. Jeff Clark says the closures will primarily affect travelers going to and from the airport, although flight schedules won't be impacted.

The closures include Russell Road in both directions from McCarran International Airport to Maryland Parkway, Tropicana Avenue westbound from Maryland Parkway to Swenson Street and Flamingo Road eastbound from I-15 to Swenson Street.
