Interstate 215 Nevada
Overview
Connecting I-15 south of the Las Vegas Strip with I-11 south in Henderson, Interstate 215 makes up the southeast quadrant of the 51 mile long Bruce Woodbury Beltway encircling Las Vegas and North Las Vegas. Extending 11.1 miles, the I-215 portion of the beltway provides direct access to Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) while also serving as a commuter route between Henderson and Paradise in the south reaches of the Las Vegas area.
The Bruce Woodbury Beltway begins at the Henderson Bowl Interchange, a systems exchange with I-11/U.S. 93-95 and State Route 564 in the city of Henderson. Following the former alignment of Lake Mead Parkway, I-215 heads west to Green Valley Ranch before turning north to Paradise. Near the LAS Airport, the beltway curves west again ahead of the Fish Bowl interchange with Interstate 15 near the south end of the Las Vegas Strip.
Though I-215 ends at the exchange with I-15, the Bruce Woodbury Beltway continues west and north around Las Vegas as Clark County Route 215. The county-maintained freeway reconnects with I-15 north of Nellis Air Force Base in the city of North Las Vegas.

History
The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) formally approved 18.9 miles of the I-215 designation April 17, 1993, between Tropicana Avenue (SR 593) near Spring Valley and I-515/U.S. 93-95 in Henderson, though signs were only erected along the 11.1 mile section between I-15 and I-515. Completion of the initial stretch of I-215 in 1996 consisted of a short spur between I-15 and Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) via the connector and tunnel along State Route 171. Additional segments were built between 1996 and 1999, with the final mile between Gibson Road and I-515 completed by 2005.
