LAS VEGAS (AP) - A North Dakota company has been awarded a $99 million contract to construct an interchange to provide new direct connections between two freeways in metro Las Vegas.
Dickinson-based Fisher Sand & Gravel Co. will build ramps, flyovers and street connections for Interstate 15 and the 215 Beltway in North Las Vegas, the Nevada Department of Transportation said Tuesday.
The department said the project will break ground in the first quarter of this year and should be completed in late 2022.
The project includes building two massive flyovers, including one that will be longer than the Eiffel Tower laid on its side, the department said.
The new interchange will enhance safety and improve traffic flow and mobility, with ground being broken in the first quarter of this year and completion in late 2022, the department said.
