PHOENIX – Arizona Department of Transportation maintenance crews are continuing pavement repairs along northern Arizona highways after winter storms.
Next week, crews will lay asphalt over existing pavement to smooth sections of Interstate 40 at milepost 156 westbound and continue this work between mileposts 169 and 172 eastbound, about 10 miles east of Williams.
Patch work and asphalt overlays also will continue on State Route 89A in Oak Creek Canyon.
PHOENIX – With warmer weather in the high country, Arizona Department of Transportation maintenance crews are catching up with pavement repair along Interstates 17 and 40 and State Route 89A after an active winter season.
Next week, crews will lay asphalt over existing pavement to smooth rough sections of road along I-40 between mileposts 169 and 172 eastbound, about 10 miles east of Williams. Work will also occur on I-40 eastbound at mileposts 92, 96 and 102-104, in between the US 93 junction and Seligman.
PHOENIX – A federal project improving safety and traffic flow along State Route 89A between the Flagstaff area and Oak Creek Canyon requires daytime restrictions on weekdays and, starting later this month, overnight closures.
PHOENIX – In partnership with Sedona, the U.S. Forest Service and Coconino County, the Arizona Department of Transportation will add protective fencing over the next few weeks to Midgley Bridge along State Route 89A.
The city of Sedona sought ADOT’s help after four people committed suicide from the bridge in 2015. After working with a nonprofit organization to add signs carrying the number of a suicide-prevention hotline, ADOT worked with area partners to design fencing for the bridge, located a mile and a half north of Sedona.
It’s been a while since we last checked in up north on the I-17/JW Powell traffic interchange improvement project.
It’s not all roads and bridges, here at ADOT. Sometimes the projects we take on include stabilizing the areas near a highway.
State Route 89A in the Oak Creek Canyon switchbacks (mileposts 387-390) was fully reopened this afternoon after crews repaired a sinkhole that had been discovered in the northbound lane on Saturday.
Drivers traveling between Sedona and Flagstaff received welcome news when ADOT opened the "switchbacks" section of State Route 89A well ahead of schedule.
In order to provide a safer flow for traffic, ADOT will realign SR 89A and reconstruct the intersection of southbound I-17 and JW Powell Boulevard three miles south of Flagstaff.
ADOT will soon begin a project that will restore the pavement along a 3.5-mile segment of SR 89A through the Oak Creek Canyon switchbacks.
There’s a realignment and intersection improvement project in the works near Flagstaff that, when complete, will help eliminate some major backups in the area.
