All in a night’s work: Placing bridge girders along I-40 in Kingman

Progress along the Interstate 40/US 93 interchange project in Kingman sometimes can be apparent at the end of each day’s work, but in some cases, it’s quite visible even at night.

That was certainly true last week, with crews working overnight to hoist a girder into place for a new bridge at White Cliffs Road over I-40.

Drivers who pass through the area will see more of the same work this week, with full westbound closures scheduled for up to 30 minutes the nights of Monday, March 17, and Thursday, March 20. Motorists can find more traffic restriction details here. 

The current girder placement represents only a small portion of bridge work as part of the larger effort to construct a freeway-to-freeway interchange between I-40 and US 93. The overall project will include five new bridges, two bridge widenings and four bridge rehabilitations.
