The Arizona Department of Transportation advises motorists that extended 24-hour lane restrictions will be in place beginning at 5 a.m. Monday, Sept. 14, and continuing through 6 a.m. Friday, Dec. 18, as crews continue repaving a 3-mile segment of US 93 south of Wikieup. 

Motorists should allow extra travel time and expect delays while the following restrictions are in effect:

• US 93 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction between Cholla Canyon Ranch and Old Wikieup Hillside roads (mileposts 128-131).
• A 14-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place.
• The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.
• Drivers are reminded to slow down, proceed through the work zone with caution and watch for construction personnel and equipment while the restrictions are in place.

The project is expected to be completed in early 2027. 

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to prepare for daytime lane restrictions on US 180, locally known as Cleveland Street, and US 191, locally known as Commercial Street, in St. Johns as work begins on paving operations Tuesday, Sept. 15.

Drivers should expect the following restrictions from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays:

• US 180 will be reduced to one lane in each direction in segments between 24th W Street and US 191 (mileposts 367-369).
• US 191 will be reduced to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel near the Little Colorado River Bridge during construction. Vehicles will be directed through the work zone by flaggers and a pilot car.
• Drivers need to be prepared to make frequent stops when approaching and driving through the work zone and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while the restrictions are in place.
• Business and residential access will be maintained. However, there may be brief restrictions when paving work takes place directly in front of driveways and side streets.

Expect delays

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to prepare for 24-hour lane restrictions along US 180 between Holbrook and St. Johns starting Monday, Sept. 14, as a project begins to replace two bridges.

Drivers should expect the following 24-hour restrictions to be in place:

• US 180 will be reduced to one lane only at both the Five Mile Wash Bridge (milepost 309) and Little Colorado River Bridge (milepost 310) with alternating east- and westbound travel directed by temporary traffic signals and onsite flaggers. 
• Drivers should slow down and expect frequent stops and delays of up to 15 minutes when approaching and moving through the work zones.
• A 10-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place during construction.

The 24-hour lane restriction is scheduled to be in place for both bridges through the end of March 2027. The 24-hour restriction will remain in place at the Little Colorado River Bridge through the end of July 2027.

The project is anticipated to be completed by fall 2027.
