Motorists should allow extra travel time while the following daytime restrictions are in place from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.: 

Monday, May 20 and Tuesday, May 21

• US 93 will be intermittently narrowed to one lane roughly between downtown Kingman and Mineral Park Road (mileposts 59 to 70).

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

Wednesday, May 22 and Thursday, May 23

The restrictions are needed so crews can make pavement repairs to the roadway. For more information, visit the project webpage.

The upcoming work is the final two of three segments of pavement repairs on US 93 in Mohave and Yavapai counties. A 2-mile section south of Wikieup was paved last spring.
