 Las Vegas SUN: Interstate 15 maintenance faces a long, difficult road
Southern Nevada's stretch of I-15, a roadway nearing the end of its shelf-life in many sections, has turned into a choke point along the 1,435-mile route with too few lanes for too much traffic and interminable construction projects to correct the deficiencies.
I-15, which runs from Mexico to Canada through six states, was one of the original highways authorized by President Dwight D. Eisenhower's Interstate and Defense Highway Act, passed in 1956.
On the table are proposals to turn Las Vegas Boulevard south of town into a new multilane highway running parallel to I-15, and to convert Rainbow Boulevard on the valley's west side into a highway running all the way to the new airport.

 Utah Highways Pages - Interstate 15 Exit List
After Congress repealed the national speed limits in December 1995, the Utah legislature raised the rural interstate speed in the state limit to 75 mph in May 1996, and all of I-15 south of Spanish Fork was posted at that speed.
Prior to the rebuild, the northbound 7200 South onramp entered I-15 1/4 mile prior to the gore for the I-215 ramp, and the southbound 7200 South ramp came after the I-215 merged creating incredible backups due to the crossing patterns associated with the entering and exiting traffic.
During the rebuild, four of the eight movements were never closed: the two "left turn" movements from I-15 (I-15 northbound to I-215 westbound and I-15 southbound to I-215 eastbound), and the connections to I-15 southbound from I-215 in either direction.

 Baker Grade on Interstate 15
A $5,000,000, 25 mile section of Interstate 15, carrying U.S. 91 and U.S. 466 on the stretch between Barstow and Las Vegas is now completed.
For these reasons, this project near the middle of the Interstate route between Barstow and the Nevada State Line (a distance of 111 miles) was selected for first construction.
One special feature of this project was the care taken to avoid disturbance of the native desert vegetation, in order to provide erosion protection and to act as a screen between the two opposing streams of traffic.

 High Priority Corridors @ AARoads.com: Interstate 99/U.S. 220/U.S. 15 (Corridor 9)
Interstate 99 is in its present location because it is written into law; in fact, in 1995, Interstate 99 was the only interstate to have its interstate definition written into law (see the NHS Legislation Page; it's really there!).

 California: District 11: I-15 Managed Lanes Concept
The concept of managed lanes is to operate a “freeway within a freeway” between the I-15 / SR-163 Interchange at Miramar and SR-78 in Escondido, that can be adjusted on demand to increase the overall travel in the corridor 24 hours a day.
The proposal is to develop the lanes with the latest technologies that would maintain proper flow rates, sense problems, make adjustments at necessary locations and keep the travelers informed of their choices.
