Interstate 15 (abbreviated '''I-15''') is the fourth-longest north-south transcontinental Interstate Highway in the United States , traveling through the states of California , Nevada , Arizona , Utah , Idaho , and Montana . In California, this freeway is a major transportation corridor linking the San Diego-Tijuana Metropolitan Area with the Riverside - San Bernardino - Ontario Metropolitan area, and various suburban communities between them. It is also the main artery of transportation through the entire state of Utah connecting the Wasatch Front and Dixie urban areas. It also serves as the primary access route from Southern California to Las Vegas, Nevada , a major travel/tourist destination throughout the year. More recently, I-15 has begun to serve as a heavily traveled commuter route between the Mojave Desert communities of Victorville , Barstow , Hesperia , Apple Valley , and Adelanto in California, due to rapid population growth and associated residential, commercial, as well as industrial development. Most of Interstate 15 in California (San Bernardino County) and Nevada are undergoing major improvements and will be completed by 2009.
