Drivers should use caution and allow extra travel time
The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising Kingman-area drivers of the following upcoming restrictions on Interstate 40 and Andy Devine Avenue in east Kingman as work continues on the bridge deck replacement project:
- Temporary traffic-control barriers will be in place on eastbound I-40 at Andy Devine Avenue (Exit 53) from 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 1, through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15.
- Two eastbound lanes will remain open, but will be narrowed to 11 feet wide. Temporary traffic-control barriers will be in place on westbound I-40 at Andy Devine Avenue (Exit 53) from 8 p.m. Monday, Aug. 12, through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15. Two westbound lanes will remain open, but will be narrowed to 12 feet wide
- The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.
The I-40 off- and on-ramps at Andy Devine Avenue will remain open while the restrictions in place.
Construction on the I-40 Andy Devine Avenue Bridge Deck Replacement project 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 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.
