BERKLEY SECURES $635,000 FOR SPAGHETTI BOWL IMPROVEMENTS PDF Print E-mail

Funding Will Enhance Interchange Linking I-15 & US 95/93

(June 6, 2008 -- Washington, D.C.) Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-NV) today announced that she has secured nearly $635,000 in funding for work on the “Spaghetti Bowl” interchange in downtown Las Vegas.

“The Spaghetti Bowl is one of the Valley’s busiest interchanges and these improvements will enhance safety and help keep traffic flowing smoothly,” said Berkley, who secured the resources for the highway project as part of last year’s transportation funding bill.


“With today’s record gas prices, traffic delays cost drivers more than ever before and that is why we need to continue investing in improvements to southern Nevada’s transportation infrastructure, including our roads and highways,” Berkley said.

The project is part of an on-going effort by Berkley to fund improvements along I-15 between Las Vegas and Apex. Plans call for directional ramps at the I-215/I-15 Interchanges, additional interchanges between Speedway and Apex, the D-F Street connector and reconfiguration of the Lake Mead Interchange. The Project will consist of three construction phases. The first phase of construction will expand the freeway to ten lanes from the Spaghetti Bowl to the Lake Mead Interchange and to eight lanes from the Lake Mead Interchange to the Craig Road Interchange
