Super Bowl weekend is shaping up to be a super headache for tens of thousands of west valley drivers. Tom Hawley is over rainbow and US-95 in Sky3. That area is going from a cone zone to a complete closure.

LAS VEGAS (KSNV & MyNews3) -- Part of Rancho Drive in northwest Las Vegas will be closed for three days as part of the U.S. 95 Northwest widening project.

The northbound lanes of Rancho Drive will be closed from Rainbow Boulevard to Ann Road from Monday to Feb. 23, Nevada Department of Transportation officials said.

The closure is part of a project to improve the freeway between Washington Avenue and Ann Road.

The $68 million project began in August and is scheduled to end next summer.

Crews are widening the freeway by adding a high-occupancy vehicle lane. It also calls for landscaping improvements and new sound walls.

SERIOUSLY?? I've never seen a city that has so much NON STOP road work. I can't remember in the last THIRTY YEARS when all the roads were not being worked on. Either the work is so shoddy that it has to be rebuilt all the time or I swear the mob moved from the casinos to the highway concrete business. How is it that a city like Los Angeles' highways are fine and don't need to be constantly rebuilt but a small city like LV has got to have dozens of it's streets being rebuilt and it's freaking freeways ALWAYS being worked on. I'd love to see an investigation and see who is getting the kickbacks or who is in charge of screwing us with either poorly build freeways and streets or is taking the taxpayer to the cleaners. The city is in financial crisis but we seem to have hundreds of millions to have a 24/7 nonstop rebuilding of our streets. WHAT IS GOING ON???
