Information on construction of Bridge on I-15 in Arizona

Motorists traveling between Southern Nevada and Southern Utah on Interstate 15 should brace for a possible 224-mile detour for the next two years.

Lane restrictions began last week on a stretch of I-15 in Arizona on Virgin Bridge No. 1 as part of a $56 million bridge replacement project. The restrictions are slated to be in place until the spring of 2023, the Arizona Department of Transportation announced earlier this month.

ADOT advises motorists should be prepared to stop and travel through the around-the-clock work zone, located between mileposts 8 and 9, with caution.
The affected stretch of I-15 near Littlefield, Arizona, will be reduced to one lane in each direction across the bridge. The speed limit will be limited to 45 mph in the work zone.

A vehicle width limit of 10 feet and a weight limit of 129,000 pounds also will be in place. Vehicles that exceed those limits will be required to take the 224-mile detour.

Virgin Valley Water District info

Mesquite doesn’t depend on Lake Mead water for our water.
Yes, our water supply is from the aquifer underneath us.
The aquifer is doing fine, showing no sign of stress.

 Please visit the website: https://vvh2o.com
 
There you will find a more lengthy description of our water situation under the "News Feed" section. You can go to the Our Water tab on the web page and a drop down menu will appear. Go to Reports and Studies and you will find much more details about the District and our water supply.

You can bring the Pop Tabs to the Pioneer Center!
We will have someone drop them off!
