Project Cost: $7 million
The Arizona Department of Transportation is working on a bridge replacement project on the Teesto Wash Bridge over State Route 87. The bridge is located about 30 miles north of Winslow (MP 385). Construction is expected to be completed in the fall.
The project limits will extend approximately a quarter-mile north of the bridge and about a half-mile south of the bridge along SR 87.
Project Elements
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing bridge. The work will include:
- Replacing the existing bridge with a new two-span bridge.
- Realigning the roadway as it approaches the bridge.
- Replacing guardrails and adding new pavement markings and other miscellaneous work.

What to Expect During Construction
The existing bridge will be reduced to only lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel during construction. This will enable drivers to continue to access the area while half of the bridge is demolished. Traffic will be directed through the work zone by a temporary traffic signal. Drivers should plan for extra travel time and watch for construction workers and equipment while traveling through the area.
The new bridge will be constructed next to the existing bridge. Traffic will be shifted onto the new bridge once it is completed.

State Route 87 Teesto Wash Bridge Replacement project north of Winslow to begin March 6
Plan for lane closures and restrictions
The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin construction to replace the Teesto Wash Bridge on State Route 87 on Monday, March 6. The bridge is located between the communities of Winslow and Second Mesa at milepost 385.
During construction, the bridge will be restricted to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel through the work zone. Temporary traffic signals (one for each direction) and concrete barriers will be used to safely move drivers through the work zone while construction is underway.
The new bridge will be constructed next to the existing bridge. Traffic will be shifted onto the new bridge once it is completed this fall.
The purpose of the project is to ensure the continued connection between Winslow and the Navajo and Hopi tribal communities. Additional work includes:
- Realigning the existing SR 87 roadway to the new Teesto Wash Bridge.
- Installing new guardrail.
- Pouring new concrete approach/departure slabs.
- Installing new pavement markings.
