It was traffic, traffic, and even frustration as drivers tried to navigate the closure of I-15 between Flamingo and Russell Road.

If you were out and about Saturday, you couldn't help but notice all the traffic.

The I-15 is in its first full day of closure.

The Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) shut down the interstate between Flamingo and Russell Road for the "Dropicana" project.

NDOT is marching deeper into the project's second phase.

Crews will be working to raise Tropicana Avenue to meet federal height requirements and widening it from three to four lanes in both directions for any future expansion of the I-15.

In the meantime, motorists will endure this headache, even if it's just for the weekend.

I-15, along with Tropicana Avenue, will reopen Monday morning.
