I drove on an Interstate I didn’t know existed

I’ve been to Las Vegas/Henderson/Boulder City/Lake Mead more times than I can remember. I’ve arrived and departed via just about every possible route. I knew there was some construction near the junction of US 95 and US 93, but I thought it was just to smooth out the interchange. But surprise!

Brand spankin’ new Interstate 11, running from Boulder Dam to Henderson (or Henderson to Boulder Dam), bypasses Boulder City. Man, that was really needed. I don’t know what effect it’ll have on businesses (being bypassed is seldom good) but it’ll be great for actually getting somewhere.
