Project cost: $5.1 million
Overview
The Arizona Department of Transportation has initiated a safety project to install variable speed limit signs along Interstate 40 between Bellemont and Flagstaff (mileposts 185-195). When the project is completed, the new signs will be used to instruct drivers to slow down due to inclement weather or roadway conditions, such as a motor-vehicle collision or construction project. The project is expected to be under construction in late spring 2025 and anticipated for completion by summer 2026.
Project Elements
- Installation of variable speed limit signs.
