LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — The weekend Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) ended Monday morning, and it’s causing major traffic delays for commuters.
Thousands of people attend the EDC every year at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, and when the dance parties end, the carnival-goers head home, creating major traffic delays.
The heaviest traffic is on I-15 southbound. As of 6:40 a.m., the traffic was backed up to Craig Road. Also impacted are the westbound lanes of the 215 Northern Beltway heading into Centennial Bowl and Las Vegas Boulevard.
Motorists might want to find an alternate route or expect a longer Monday morning commute.
Nevada State Police said around 185,000 people attended each night of this year’s EDC. Around 150 state and local police officers work the event.
