Proposals from as early as the 1970s were succeeded by the California–Nevada Interstate Maglev project, which was studied from 2004 to 2010 but never realized. Amtrak ran a conventional passenger rail service between the two cities, named the Desert Wind , from 1979 to 1997. The Brightline West line, a conventional high-speed rail service under

It will use the median of I-15 for most of its 218-mile (351 km) route and reach speeds of up to 186 miles per hour (299 km/h). The segment signed as SR 15 from I-5 to I-8 in San Diego is planned to be redesignated as part of I-15 once this segment

220-478: A spectacular section where the road twists between the narrow walls of the Virgin River Gorge . I-15 continues through Utah for 401 miles (645 km).

North of Devore , the highway follows the approximate alignment of historic US Route 66 along with US 91 and US 395 . US 395 breaks away at Hesperia and the route continues on a direct path to Barstow 35 miles (56 km) to

308-598: Is a city in Cache County , Utah , United States. The 2020 census recorded the population was 52,778.

396-437: Is completely converted to Interstate standards , namely where the freeway's interchange with SR 94 is concerned. The interchange currently has left-exits and blind merges, and is due to be updated with a widening of both SR 15 and SR 94. At that time, SR 15 is planned be resigned as part of I-15. The remaining portion of SR 15 conforms with Interstate standards. Source: Logan, Utah Logan

440-809: Is currently in the process of being widened. The portions in Arizona, Idaho and Montana have retained their rural, long-haul character. Although Arizona has also grown substantially since the construction of I-15, this highway serves only the isolated corner of northwestern Arizona. Due to this rapid area growth, the I-15 corridor is the focus of several mass transit projects. The Las Vegas Monorail , FrontRunner commuter rail system, and TRAX light rail in Salt Lake City are mass transit lines loosely parallel to I-15 that are now in operation. The Los Angeles–Las Vegas corridor has long been proposed as

484-670: Is now officially chartered for this purpose: from the junction of I-515 in Las Vegas to the Canadian border , I-15 forms part of the CANAMEX Corridor , a High Priority Corridor , as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement .

At Sweet Grass , I-15 terminates upon crossing

660-584: The Wasatch Front , and future plans released by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) indicate that this will continue in the north and the far south of the state as well, due to the extremely rapid growth of Washington County and surrounding areas. In like manner, Las Vegas in Nevada has seen growth along I-15, and in all of the states that it currently serves, it has recently been or

704-689: The Cache Valley Area. There are numerous events at the Logan/Cache County Fairgrounds including fairs, rodeos, and demolition derbies.

Once I-15 was relatively intact, US 91 was decommissioned, except for one part in Northern Utah ;/ Southern Idaho where I-15 instead followed the route of former US 191 . I-15 originally had two suffixed routes. In California, I-15 had an eastern branch bypassing San Bernardino , which

792-693: The Legislative Branch, led by a five-member city council; and the Judicial Branch, led by the city judge.

The southern starting point of I-15 was in 1957 planned to be in San Bernardino , at the interchange with the San Bernardino Freeway (then US 70/US 99, now I-10 ). This was logical as I-15 was following the old alignment of the historic Route 66 which passed through San Bernardino. The segment

1100-527: The north and south of Logan are rapidly growing residential suburbs. Logan has a humid continental climate ( Köppen : Dsa ) with very warm though usually dry summers and cold winters with moderate snowfall. Precipitation tends to be heaviest in the spring months. Like other areas in northern Utah, during mid-winter, high-pressure systems often situate themselves over Cache Valley, leading to strong temperature inversions. These temperature inversions trap cold air and pollutants and allow thick smog to accumulate in

1144-611: The north. Meanwhile, the old alignments of US 91 and US 66 follow the Mojave River from Victorville to Barstow along the National Trails Highway . At that point, I-15 follows the old route of US 91 exclusively as US 66 turned east toward Needles . For many parts of the highway, high-voltage powerlines , such as Path 46 and Path 27 , almost all originating from the Hoover Dam , follow

1188-513: The northern stretches of Lake Bonneville , building a " Gilbert-type" river delta over several thousand years. The Logan River later cut down through these sedimentary deposits following the draining of Lake Bonneville approximately 14,500 years ago.

To

1232-636: The original interchange in San Bernardino). The segment that had been built from Devore to San Bernardino was retained as an Interstate, but was renumbered as I-215 . Note that during the construction of I-15's present alignment, and for some time afterward, I-215 was numbered as I-15E, and its actual mileage would begin at I-10.

In Utah, I-15 has been under near-constant construction in

1320-435: The population.

The only exceptions are north of Cove Fort and when it passes between Cedar City and St. George, known as the Black Ridge, a transition zone of drastic change in elevation and climate, an area where the eastern Great Basin , Colorado Plateau , and Mojave Desert converge.

Since its creation, I-15 has served as a long-haul route for North American commerce. It

1716-838: Was completed accordingly. In 1964, legislation was later passed to extend the Interstate to San Diego . Instead of extending the existing freeway from the I-10 interchange south, however, the California Department of Transportation drew a new segment in Devore that "branched" off of the original alignment and bypassed San Bernardino altogether. This segment's alignment is generally northeast to southwest for about 13 miles (21 km). Then, in Rancho Cucamonga , its directional alignment shifts to north–south where it eventually meets with I-10 (about 15 miles (24 km) west of

1760-438: Was designated I-15E. I-15E was renumbered and is now I-215 . Present day routing of I-15 in California was originally given "I-15W" as its title while it was under construction (the original asphalt portions from Temescal Canyon to Ontario Avenue were dubbed I-15W on maps until 1974), but was never officially signed as such. In Idaho, I-15 had a western branch near Pocatello that connected I-15 and I-84 (then I-80N). This highway

1804-401: Was designated I-15W. It is now the western I-86 . Since the construction of I-15, California, Nevada, and Utah have consistently ranked in the fastest-growing areas of the United States. As a result, the route of I-15 has substantially increased in population and commuter traffic has increased the traffic burden on the freeway. Current population estimates are that more than 75 percent of

Its library and its papers were given to the Utah State University when it ceased operating. Logan's growth reflects settlement and post-war booms along with other changes incidental to conditions in the West. Logan grew to about 20,000 in
