The Las Vegas Beltway (officially named the Bruce Woodbury Beltway) is a 50-mile (80 km) beltway route circling three-quarters of the Las Vegas Valley in southern Nevada. The Las Vegas Beltway carries two numerical designations. 11.1 miles (17.9 km) of the highway, from its southern terminus at Interstate 11 (I-11) / U.S. Route 93 (US 93) / US 95 in Henderson west and northwest to I-15, is signed as Interstate 215 (I-215) and maintained by the Nevada Department of Transportation.[3] Clark County Route 215 (CC 215) composes the remaining approximately 38.9 miles (62.6 km) of this semi-circumferential highway, with the county's Department of Public Works responsible for all construction and maintenance. The beltway is a freeway up to Interstate Highway standards in its entirety.
Clark County planned and constructed the beltway. This marked the first time in the United States that a county had overseen the construction of an Interstate highway with little to no state or federal funding. With all the previous expressway segments of the beltway now completely upgraded to a freeway, the CC 215 portion of the beltway is expected be redesignated I-215 and the entire facility turned over to the Nevada Department of Transportation for maintenance.[4]
