The Rebuilt I-15/Tropicana Interchange Is Declared Complete

Nevada's governor and NDOT cut the ribbon on the $382 million rebuild of the Interstate 15 and Tropicana Avenue interchange, the south-Strip gateway to Allegiant Stadium and T-Mobile Arena, after three and a half years of 'Dropicana' closures.

The $382 million I-15/Tropicana Avenue interchange project was declared substantially complete at a ribbon cutting on the morning of Tuesday 23 September 2025, after three and a half years of work^[1].
Gov. Joe Lombardo, NDOT director Tracy Larkin Thomason, Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto and Rep. Susie Lee attended^[1].
Over $168 million came from Fuel Revenue Indexing and $50 million from a 2021 federal grant^[1]; other outlets gave the total as $305 million^[2] and more than $350 million^[3].
Work began in the third quarter of 2022 with the Harmon Channel, and a temporary diverging diamond interchange confused drivers from March 2023^[4].
The 1966 Tropicana bridge over I-15 was torn down and replaced by a wider one - the 'Dropicana' that gave the project its nickname^[3].

Notable features

Rebuilt Tropicana overpass with more travel lanes and a new ramp straight to Arena Drive and T-Mobile Arena^[2].
A new north-south street, Joey Bishop Drive, under the Tropicana bridge, and a reworked Dean Martin Drive intersection^[2].
Carries more than 60,000 vehicles a day and almost 300,000 on holiday weekends^[1].
