Traffic will use off- and on-ramps to move through work zone

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for overnight closures of Interstate 40 at the Perkins Valley Road overpass (Exit 283) in Holbrook from Monday evening, Sept. 21, to Friday morning, Sept. 25, as work on the bridge rehabilitation project continues.

Drivers should expect the following restrictions nightly from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m.:

  • I-40 will be closed in both directions at Perkins Valley Road (Exit 283).
  • Drivers will use the off- and on-ramps at the Perkins Valley Road interchange to exit and re-enter the interstate.
  • Drivers should slow down, merge over safely and expect delays when approaching the work zone.
  • Restrictions will be lifted after work hours each morning.

The closures are needed so crews can demolish the eastern side of the bridge.

Project Elements

The project will include:

What to Expect During Construction

I-40 will have intermittent lane restrictions in each direction under the bridge at times during the project. Drivers will need to safely merge over when approaching the work zone.

Beginning April 27, 2026, traffic on Perkins Valley Road will be reduced to one lane of alternating north-south travel across the bridge. Temporary traffic signals will direct drivers over the bridge during construction.

Drivers need to be prepared for minor delays when approaching the work zone, drive slowly through the work zone and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while the restrictions are in place.

ADOT will post information about traffic restrictions and closures as it becomes available. To receive traffic alerts and other updates by email, please subscribe here.
