The Nevada Dept. of Transportation is ready to rumble with the third and final major phase of Project Neon, a $900-million, 3.7-mile-long widening of Interstate 15 that began in 2016.

CONEXPO 2017 was set in fast-growing Las Vegas, where the Nevada Dept. of Transportation, 100 years old this year, “has $3 billion in road projects underway in Clark County alone,” said Tony Illia, NDOT public information officer.
