New project will repave an 8-mile section of Interstate 40

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises motorists traveling on Interstate 40 east of Kingman to expect overnight lane restrictions beginning Wednesday, April 22. 

The restrictions are needed for a new pavement preservation project that’s starting on an 8-mile segment of eastbound I-40, between the I-40/US 93 traffic junction and Silver Springs Road (mileposts 72-80).

  • Eastbound I-40 will be narrowed to one lane between the I-40/US 93 traffic junction and Silver Springs Road (mileposts 72-80).  

  • A 14-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place.

The restrictions are scheduled to remain in place through the end of the year.

ADOT reminds drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution and watch for construction personnel and equipment while construction is underway.
