I-15 washed out N of Las Vegas, S of St. George, UT - 8 September 2014
...in case anyone has plans involving travel on this route:

Nevada Department of Transportation said the freeway will be closed for three to four days. According to Utah Department of Transportation, I-15 is closed just outside of St. George.

According to Clark County Fire officials, the southbound lanes of I-15 at mile marker 92 have been completely washed out. The National Weather Service referred to the flooding as "life-threatening." Moapa, which is 50 miles north of Las Vegas, received more than three inches of rain in an hour.
There are virtually no alternate routes in this area, so this could be a very big mess for trucking, tourism and general travel.
