Interstate 11 alignment, though Vegas and points north

[The Ghostbuster]

It looks like slowly, but surely, Interstate 515 is being designed. Soon we will be saying R.I.P. Interstate 515. Is there any Interstate 11 signage west of Interstate 15 yet? I imagine they are doing the Interstate 515-to-Interstate 11 conversion before adding Interstate 11 signs to the US 95 "solo" corridor.

Interestingly, it's not a 100% replacement. Some signage still has the I-515 shields.

What a mess.

I haven't seen any, but I live right by US 95 so I'll let everyone know the moment I see anything.

When they do, I wonder if they'll replace the ancient-looking sign on Lake Mead Blvd. for US-95 north with a control city of Tonopah with one that says Reno instead.

I was in Las Vegas this weekend and noticed that the signage on southbound I-15 at the 11/95 interchange shows I-11 North and I-11 South.

It was mentioned upthread that this was likely the result of a major sign replacement project on I-15, and that they used I-11 shields instead of I-515 shields to avoid needing to make alterations to newly-fabricated BGSs less than a year later.

District 2 has been going to more localized control cities as of late, so who knows. See the new signs on I-580 NB that show I-80 EB with a control city of Sparks (instead of Elko, which itself is pushing it). Never mind that the city limit is visible from 580 and downtown is only a couple of miles away.

As of this evening, NDOT has made the internal change to redesignate I-515 and US 95 up to Kyle Canyon Road as I-11. This change was previously approved by the feds, so nothing unheard of there.

[The Ghostbuster]

I wonder if there will be any End Interstate 11 signs posted around the NV 157/Kyle Canyon Rd. interchange? Since there aren't any End Interstate 11 signs posted at the Mike O'Callaghan–Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge (although there is a Mile 0 Interstate 11 Milepost at this location), I'm not sure if any will be erected on the northern end.

[cl94]

I mean, does any other Interstate in Nevada get END assemblies? 580 doesn't have them, don't remember if 215 does.

NDOT GIS, specifically the road ownership layer. I can provide a link later.

On my travels up and down US 95, I have noticed that the northbound mileage signs have been replaced to show Fallon instead of Reno. There is still one that has mileage to Reno and that one is just north of Goldfield.

So I saw another I-11 sign assembly on current 515. It is between Russell Road (65) and Galleria (64B) going southbound. I pointed it out to my wife and she said the shield can be changed to 11 but Vegas people will call it 95 regardless (she's from Vegas).

[silverback1065]

is 215 being signed too on the CC 215 portion?

That is it, and it is authoritative.

Nice! That one wasn't there on March 17 when I was last in the area.

515 did: http://www.floodgap.com/roadgap/95/u1/#img_66

It even had a corresponding BEGIN.

Having grown up in Vegas and still visiting regularly, your wife is 100% correct.

I think it took well into the 2000's before people really began using the I-515 designation, despite the 515 shields going up circa 1994-1995. Even still, many people (including most long-time locals) call it "the 95" given how it acts as the through/continuous route through the Spaghetti Bowl.

Maybe adoption and reference to I-11 will catch on quicker if NDOT signs it north of I-15...

[Max Rockatansky]

I forget, was I-515 chargeable or non-chargeable?  If it was the latter then the designation overlaid onto two US Routes didn't make a lot of sense.

Then again, putting up fancy signs purely for aesthetic reasons is a pretty Vegas thing to do.

Going across Russell Road, all directional/entrance ramp signs have had I-515 replaced with I-11. However, the lighted (and expensive, no doubt) green street signs still say I-515. I'd imagine that may last a while.

[cl94]

I'm 98% certain that 515 is chargeable. 215 is not. 580's northern end may be given when it was approved.

chargeable?    what does that mean?

Used federal Interstate funds to build. 515 was part of the list of corridors approved by the feds in the mid-70s. Think 580 (part) was as well, but less certain.

any reason why 11 doesn't end at exit 99 on us 95?

At-grade just north of Kyle Canyon Road. Ends at the last interchange before the at-grade.
