ST. GEORGE — The good news continues to roll in from the Nevada Department of Transportation about road and utility construction on Interstate 15.

"The last of the hard barriers on the northbound side will be removed by the end of tomorrow, allowing both lanes to be accessible," transportation department spokesman Justin Hopkins said during a Thursday morning meeting.

The stretch of road in question is at mile marker 112 by the Bunkerville exit, south to mile marker 95, which is two miles away from the Logandale/Overton exit.

NDOT held an official meeting on the I-15 construction project Thursday morning, discussing the current status. Last week, NDOT announced the removal of hard rail barriers from southbound lanes going up to the top of Mormon Mesa, thus freeing up two lanes.
