SR 68 Pavement Preservation Project

May 2022 Update

The Arizona Department of Transportation has postponed a project to replace  pavement along 15 miles of State Route 68 from State Route 95 in Bullhead City to just west of Golden Valley.

Prior to the original May 13, start date, engineers on the project team determined the need to make adjustments to the design plans for the project. Design plans help ensure a successful and safe highway improvement project to best serve Arizona drivers.

After adjustments to the design plans are made, ADOT will re-advertise the project and announce the new project date.

What to expect during construction

Work will begin east of the SR 68 and Laughlin Bridge intersection, and continue through the Union Pass section, west of Golden Valley:

Lane restrictions will be limited to overnight hours only and will not be in place during daytime hours or weekends. Business access will be maintained at all times during construction.

The overnight restrictions include:

• Intermittent lane restrictions on east- and westbound SR 68 from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. The lane restrictions will be in effect Sunday evenings through Friday mornings.
• One lane will remain open in each direction. Motorists should be prepared for delays of up to 15 minutes.
• The speed limit will be reduced in the work zones.

ADOT reminds drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment while the following restrictions are in place.

More information on the project schedule will be posted prior to the work starting. Schedule subject to change based on weather or other unforeseen factors.
