The smooth-turning ramps may have replaced the left-turn signals at the new Fiesta Bowl interchange in Henderson, but there are still a few kinks to be worked out of the $85 million project that joins Interstate 215 to U.S. 95.

In last Tuesday's rainstorm, several drainage pipes poured water down on motorists in a scene more like a neighborhood car wash than an interstate highway.

Contractors noticed the downpour last week, according to Nevada Transportation Department spokesman Bob McKenzie.

"It's been addressed and hopefully corrected," he said. "Whenever you have something new, sometimes it's like a new house. You find things as you go along."
