The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising Kingman-area drivers to plan for extra travel time when construction resumes on June 3, to replace the bridge deck on the westbound I-40 Andy Devine Avenue Bridge (Exit 53).

Beginning Monday, June 3, the following around-the-clock lane restrictions will be in place:

  • I-40 at the Andy Devine Avenue Bridge will remain at four lanes, but with intermittent lane restrictions at night.

  • Drivers should be prepared for delays up to 15 minutes.

  • A 10-foot vehicle-width restriction will be in place.

  • The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.

Construction is being completed in two phases in order to maintain traffic on I-40. Temporary travel lanes will be built to enable motorists to drive around the construction zone. The I-40 off- and on-ramps at Andy Devine Avenue will remain open during construction. 

The restrictions are needed for construction crews to safely complete the bridge deck replacement project, which includes:

  • Replacing the existing bridge deck on the westbound Andy Devine Avenue Bridge. 

  • Replacing the bridge bearings, approach slabs, deck joint and bridge-mounted sign structure.

  • Milling and paving the roadway, replacing curb and gutter, and removing and replacing traffic-control crossovers.

  • Replacing guardrail and catch basins. 

  • Installing new signage, striping and other related work.

Construction is scheduled to be completed this fall. For additional information, visit the project website.
