WIVB News 4 spoke with business owners who said the first weekend of the closures was a success.
The article from Yahoo News discusses the impact of weekend traffic closures on businesses in the Las Vegas area, particularly around the I-15/Tropicana interchange. The closures, part of a $305 million project to improve traffic flow, have led to significant disruptions, with businesses like the Pin-up Arcade Bar and Grill and Tommy Rocker's experiencing a sharp decline in customer traffic. Owners report that the detours and road closures have made it difficult for customers to access their establishments, resulting in reduced sales and operational challenges. Some businesses have had to adjust their hours or staffing, while others are considering long-term solutions like delivery services to mitigate the impact of the ongoing construction.
