The next phase of the expansion of the U.S. 95 northwest corridor gets underway Monday.

The Nevada Department of Transportation is widening U.S. 95 from Ann Road to Durango Drive. The first part of the construction will be from Elkhorn Bridge to the northern beltway on southbound U.S. 95.

The road will be expanded from six lanes to eight lanes, with an auxiliary lane. There will also be a high occupancy vehicle lane added in each direction, along with landscaping and aesthetic improvements.

The project is expected to be finished in September 2015.

As part of the construction, there will be nightly lane closures on U.S. 95 southbound from Elkhorn Bridge to the beltway.  The closures will start at 9 p.m. and last through 6 a.m. 

The next phase of the Kyle Canyon Road improvement project starts Wednesday with the repaving of the road.

According to the Federal Highway Administration, the road will close for the next two to three weeks while crews repave the area from Milepost 15 to Milepost 21. During the paving project, drivers will drive on a milled surface for two or three days during the week.

Once the repaving is finished, crews will tear up pavement along the road from Milepost 4 to Milepost 5 to work on new roundabouts. During the construction, drivers will have to drive on dirt and a milled surface for two to three months. There will also be a series of closures throughout the process.

The Kyle Canyon Road improvement project started last year. It will eventually create bike lanes, roundabouts for easier traffic flow, and improved access to developed recreation sites.

The entire project is expected to be finished in spring of next year.

Metro Police are looking for a man they believe is responsible for a series of robberies in the northwest part of the Las Vegas valley.

According to police, the robberies all happened between March 25 and March 27. In all three robberies, the man walked into the store, pointed a gun at the clerk and demanded money. After getting the money, the suspect fled in a gold or silver, four-door Cadillac with tinted windows and a tan-colored, cloth rooftop.

The man is described as a black or Hispanic man in his 20s or 30s. He has a medium build and a moustache.

Anyone with information is asked to call Metro's Robbery Section at (702) 828-3591, or to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers (702) 385-5555.
