US 93 Cane Springs Improvement project north of Wikieup is underway

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises motorists that construction is underway on the US 93 Cane Springs Improvement project located north of Wikieup.

Crews will be working during the next several weeks to clear the work zone in preparation of mobilizing construction equipment to the area. Most of the construction will take place off of US 93 and will have limited impact to motorists. The speed limit will be reduced to allow for heavy equipment to safely access the work zone. 

Located approximately 13 miles north of Wikieup, the project will include the following elements:

  • Widening a 4-mile segment of US 93 from a two-lane undivided roadway to a 4-lane divided highway between mileposts 106 and 110.
  • Constructing two new bridges over Cane Springs Wash and removing the existing bridge (milepost 109).
  • Improving and/or installing drainage and sediment-control facilities, including culverts, pipes and ditches. 
  • Reconstructing the intersection turnout at Upper Trout Creek Road.

The project is expected to be completed in 2027.

Overview

Project Cost: $80.6 million

The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin construction in January 2025 on the US 93 Cane Springs Improvement project north of Wikieup.

Major elements of the project include:

  • Widening a 4-mile segment of US 93 from a two-lane undivided roadway to a 4-lane divided highway between mileposts 106 and 110.
  • Constructing two new bridges over Cane Springs Wash and removing the existing bridge (milepost 109).
  • Improving and/or installing drainage and sediment-control facilities, including culverts, pipes and ditches.
  • Reconstructing the intersection turnout at Upper Trout Creek Road.

Background

This project continues ADOT’s long-term vision of transforming this highly traveled route into a 4-lane divided highway through the entire 200-mile segment of US 93 in Arizona between Wickenburg and the state line.

The US 93 series of projects is a priority for ADOT and has significantly improved the state highway system to move people, goods and services more efficiently.

A draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for the US 93 Wikieup to I-40 project was prepared in June 2000 and a "Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)" was issued in April 2001. Nine previous roadway widening projects have been completed between Wikieup and I-40. 

Need for the project

Improvements are needed to increase capacity of US 93 to meet projected traffic volumes and current design standards.

Construction Timeline

The project is currently in the preconstruction phase. Construction is expected to begin in in early 2025 and be completed in 2026.
