got back on at decatur. if you're trying to head towards henderson from the 15 it's best to get off at blue diamond or saint rose parkway. it's also important to note that you can use the 215 to get to the airport but as you can see it from our drive here it may be a better option to use paradise or russell road to make your way to mccarran. reporting live drive, bryan here's a look.... at our traffic map... in real time. what you see in purple... is shut down.... right now. all of the red and orange... is the major back-up. now... let's roll through.... some of our other traffic cameras... as we said.. this will be happening through the weekend so we've dedicated an entire web page to help. you can find the closure maps
