'''Interstate 215''' (I-215) in ] is a portion of the '''Bruce Woodbury Beltway''' with '''Clark County 215''' (CC-215) being the other portion. The beltway is a $1.5 billion, 53-mile-long roadway being built to ] that goes around the center of the ]. The I-215 portion of the Bruce Woodbury Beltway runs from Interstate 15 at Exit 34, and travels southeast to a terminus at ].

The beltway currently consists of two different road types: ] and a limited access ]. The system is a freeway from the I-515 ] in ] to ] in western Las Vegas. It is currently being upgraded in several areas to a freeway.

== History ==
''] approved the I-215 designation for 18.9 miles of (then unbuilt) highway, from Tropicana Ave to US 95 (I-515) on ], ].''<ref name=kumi1>{{cite web |url= http://www.kurumi.com/roads/3di/ix15.html#215nv |title= I-215 Nevada |accessdate= 2007-07-24|format= |work= }}</ref>

] magazine, a national publication that provides the latest technology news and information to the Transportation Construction industry, named the '''Las Vegas Beltway''' as one of the nation's Top Ten Road Projects in 2002.

]
The portions of the beltway on the western side of I-15 are not designated as I-215, but rather as "Clark County 215". This section is being built completely with local funds, no state or federal money was spent on Clark County 215. A tax measure voted on by the County residents increased funding for the beltway. As a result, it is expected to be fully upgraded to a freeway by 2013, rather than the previous goal of 2025.

In 2003, the entire 53 mile long beltway was opened with the beltway consisting of three different road types: ], a limited access ], and as a ] with all three serving as '''] 215'''. On ], ] a section of freeway was completed that allowed the connection of previously completed freeway sections that covered about half of the roads length from the ] terminus to Charleston Boulevard.

At the Board of County Commission meeting on ], ], the road was renamed as the '''Bruce Woodbury Beltway'''.<ref> {{cite web |url= http://www.co.clark.nv.us/Commission/woodbury.htm |title= Clark County beltway site |accessdate= |format= |work= }}</ref> The Board approved a resolution recognizing Commissioner Woodbury for his many years and efforts in the future of transportation in this valley and of being worthy of having the Beltway renamed for him.

I-215 was built on the ] alignment between Exit 6 (Saint Rose Pkwy/Pecos Road) and Mile 0 (the ]/]/] interchange). Since the Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) does not co-sign state routes along Interstate highways, SR 146 was truncated to its current eastern terminus at I-215. SR 146 was co-signed with I-215 from Pecos Road to I-515/US 93/US 95, even though the state highway designation no longer existed in this section when the freeway was completed. Some SR 146 signs still remain on I-215 as of ].
