Northern Arizona highways to remain closed through Friday night

Learn more

PHOENIX – Due to Thursday's winter weather and another storm in the forecast, Northern Arizona highways are expected to remain closed through Friday night.

The Arizona Department of Transportation and Arizona Department of Public Safety are focused on public safety and working together throughout these winter storms. Interstate motorists should use Interstate 8 and Interstate 10 to travel through Arizona.

The following highways are closed due to winter weather:

Interstate 40 eastbound near Kingman and in Ash Fork (mileposts 71 & 146)
Interstate 40 westbound between Williams and Holbrook (mileposts 158-289)
Interstate 17 northbound at State Route 179 (milepost 299)
State Route 89A in both directions between Sedona and I-17 (mileposts 375-394)
State Route 87 southbound near Winslow (milepost 338)
State Route 260 (both directions) between Camp Verde and the State Route 87 junction (mileposts 228-251)

Drivers who choose to travel when winter driving conditions are present should be prepared to spend extended time on the road in winter conditions. Drivers are advised to check with the National Weather Service for current weather conditions and forecasts and plan their travel accordingly.

ADOT snowplows are working around-the-clock in affected areas. Motorists are reminded not to tailgate a snowplow – leave four car-lengths between the snowplow and your vehicle – and do not pass a snowplow. Let the snowplow clear the roadway of snow and ice, allowing for safer travel for everyone.

Motorists that choose to travel during the winter storm should pack an emergency kit before traveling. A full list of items to pack in a winter emergency kit is available at azdot.gov/KnowSnow.

Real-time highway conditions are available on ADOT’s Arizona Traveler Information site at az511.gov, the AZ511 app (download for Apple or Android devices) or by calling 511.

Interstate 10/Koli Road Traffic Interchange Study

*Previously known as the Interstate 10 (I-10) Germann Road Traffic Interchange Study

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), as the lead agency and project sponsor, in collaboration with the Gila River Indian Community (Community), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Maricopa Association of Governments, has initiated a Design Concept Report (DCR) and an environmental study (assumed to be an Environmental Assessment or EA) for the proposed Interstate 10/Koli Road Traffic Interchange.

The proposed I-10/Koli Road Traffic Interchange would be located on I-10 between the existing Wild Horse Pass Boulevard and State Route 347/Queen Creek Road traffic interchanges.

The study area limits extend approximately a half mile from each side of the I-10 center line to Maricopa Road and approximately three-quarters of a mile north of milepost 163 and 1.8 miles south of milepost 163 along I-10. The project is located in Maricopa County and entirely within the Gila River Indian Community.

The Environmental Assessment (EA) will consider and assess alternatives for the traffic interchange, including a no-build alternative. Some considerations to be analyzed in-depth in the EA will include the proposed project’s impacts on cultural resources, biological resources, water quality, recreational resources, noise impacts and air quality, as well as other social, economic, and environmental impacts.

Public scoping is the first step of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental study process. The public scoping and alternatives process provides the opportunity for the Community to educate the study team about the I-10/Koli Road Traffic Interchange study area, as well as share concerns about modifying I-10 to incorporate a traffic interchange at approximately Koli Road.

Provide an overview of the I-10/Koli Road Traffic Interchange study area, the study’s objectives, and the study’s schedule
Obtain feedback on opportunities, issues, and concerns related to the study area
Solicit input on potential study area improvement alternatives

This input will help ADOT, the Community, and MAG select a Preferred Alternative for this section of I-10 and Koli Road.

ADOT hosted the Virtual I-10/Koli Road Traffic Interchange Study Scoping and Alternative Public Meeting on Tuesday, October 8.
