Interstate 215 (I-215) in Nevada is a portion of the Bruce Woodbury Beltway with Clark County 215 (CC -215) being the other portion. The beltway is a $1.5 billion, 53-mile-long roadway being built to Interstate Highway standards that goes around the center of the Las Vegas valley. The I-215 portion of the Bruce Woodbury Beltway runs from Decatur Boulevard, just west of Interstate 15 at Exit 34, and travels southeast to a terminus at Interstate 515.

The beltway currently consists of two different road types: freeway and a limited access expressway. The system is a freeway from the I-515 interchange in Henderson to Charleston Boulevard in the west Las Vegas area. It is currently being upgraded in several areas to a freeway.

History

Roads & Bridges magazine, a national publication that provides the latest technology news and information to the Transportation Construction industry, named the Las Vegas Beltway as one of the nation's Top Ten Road Projects in 2002.

The under construction 215 beltway as seen from the air. The two roads are the frontage roads that are being used for traffic while the freeway is being constructed in the middle.

The portions of the beltway on the western side of I-15 are not designated as I-215, but rather as "Clark County 215". This section is being built completely with local funds, no state or federal money was spent on Clark County 215. A tax measure voted on by the County residents increased funding for the beltway. As a result, it is expected to be fully upgraded to a freeway by 2013, rather than the previous goal of 2025.

In 2003, the entire 53 mile long beltway was opened with the beltway consisting of three different road types: freeway, a limited access expressway, and as a frontage road with all three serving as County highway 215. On August 9, 2006 a section of freeway was completed that allowed the connection of previously completed freeway sections that covered about half of the roads length from the SR 564 terminus to Charleston Boulevard.

At the Board of County Commission meeting on March 2, 2004, the road was renamed as the Bruce Woodbury Beltway. The Board approved a resolution recognizing Commissioner Woodbury for his many years and efforts in the future of transportation in this valley and of being worthy of having the Beltway renamed for him.
