US 93

KINGMAN – The Arizona Department of Transportation has submitted an application for a federal bridge grant that, if awarded, would allocate nearly $73 million toward the construction of the planned West Kingman Traffic Interchange that will provide a free-flowing connection between US 93 and Interstate 40.

WICKENBURG, AZ – The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a project to improve safety along US 93 north of Wickenburg by installing centerline rumble strips along a 20-mile section of the highway.

The project area stretches from the Santa Maria River to the junction with State Route 71, which is mileposts 161 to 183. The work will take place overnights from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning Monday, July 18, and lasting through early August. No weekend work is scheduled.

The Arizona Department of Transportation submitted a competitive grant bid that, if awarded, would allocate approximately $65 million to speed up already-planned improvement projects on US 93 between Wickenburg and Interstate 40. 

If the grant application is approved, these competitive funds would be added to state match funding and additional federal dollars, for a potential total of more than $200 million for the improvements on US 93, in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration. 

KINGMAN – As construction season in northern Arizona resumes, three bridges in the northwestern part of Arizona will be rehabilitated starting this year.

Along Interstate 40, ADOT will reconstruct the bridge decks on the bridge at Exit 123 into the east side of Seligman. The project is needed to replace the damaged elements of the bridges and to perform other upgrades to increase the lifespan of the bridges.

Once a favorite tourist haunt along US 93, Santa Claus is now nothing more than a blip on the map.

PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Transportation has finished converting three miles of US 93 north of Wikieup to a four-lane divided highway increasing safety and traffic capacity.

The upgrade to a four-lane divided highway improves traffic flow, supports the movement of freight and enhances safety through this heavily traveled corridor.

This project connects two sections of highway that had already been widened. This provides a continuous stretch of divided four-lane highway from milepost 108, about 15 miles south of I-40, and milepost 121 near Wikieup.

PHOENIX – With the completion of new lanes for the US 93 widening project north of Wikieup, the Arizona Department of Transportation will conduct a traffic switch Monday, Sept. 21 so crews can work on rebuilding the existing southbound lanes.

The traffic switch will occur at 8 a.m. Monday, Sept. 21, between mileposts 116 and 119. Drivers in the area should expect a brief delay while crews switch all traffic to the new northbound lanes.

PHOENIX – Travelers driving between Kingman and Wickenburg will need to plan extra travel time as the Arizona Department of Transportation will be conducting pavement maintenance work on US 93 south of Wikieup from Monday, Aug. 31 through Thursday, Sept. 3.

Work will take place from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily between the Santa Maria Bridge and Alamo Road, which includes mileposts 162 to 180. US 93 will be narrowed to one lane with flaggers and a pilot car leading traffic through the work zone. Crews will only be working in sections of a few miles a day.

PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Transportation has been granted environmental approval to move forward with plans to improve the US 93/I-40 traffic interchange in west Kingman.

US 93 has a surprising quirk: Its milepost numbers get higher as you head south. Why the highway is like that is a tricky question to answer.

It may not quite be to the level of "Star Trek," but ADOT has embraced virtual communication during the current public health situation.

Construction projects continue through the current public health situation, which means ADOT had to adapt in order to keep the public engaged.

PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Transportation is seeking input on a project to build a freeway-to-freeway interchange between US 93 and Interstate 40 in west Kingman by hosting the agency’s first project-level virtual call-in public hearing.

We've been working on widening and improving US 93 for more than a decade, so its a good time to look back and what we have achieved so far.

The Arizona Department of Transportation will host a public meeting to present final design plans for an upcoming project that will improve traffic flow on US 93 between SR 89 and Tegner Street in Wickenburg.

We've already widened 161 miles of US 93, the main route between Phoenix and Las Vegas, to divided four-lane highway. Now we're launching a project to widen nearly 4 more miles.

This year will be filled with highway system improvements for northern Arizona travelers, including the start of the latest Arizona Department of Transportation project expanding US 93 to four-lane divided highway between Wickenburg and Interstate 40.

PHOENIX ‒ With five more miles of US 93 expanded to four-lane divided highway north of Wickenburg, the Arizona Department of Transportation is another step closer to its goal of transforming the 200 miles to Hoover Dam into a modern thoroughfare.

Nine months of work concluded in late November just outside Wickenburg, from milepost 185 to 190 and between state routes 71 and 89.
