Plan for delays and
consider alternate routes on Jan. 4 while bridge girders are set
|
|
With the new year comes phase one of a new bridge over
the Ganado Wash on State Route 264 in northeastern Arizona. The
Arizona Department of Transportation is scheduled to set 12 bridge girders on
Wednesday, Jan. 4, requiring a series of highway closures that will impact
drivers in both directions.
- East- and
westbound SR 264 will be closed in 30-minute increments at milepost
446 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. while work is underway. Milepost 446 is a
half mile west of the intersection of SR 264 and US 191 South in Ganado.
- Drivers
should plan for delays of at least 30 minutes. Access will be
permitted only for emergency responders when feasible. After
each bridge girder is set and braced, traffic will be allowed through the
work area.
Schedules are subject to change because of weather or other
unforeseen circumstances.
The work is part of a $24 million highway safety improvement
project on SR 264 from the community of Burnside to Ganado on the Navajo
Nation. In addition to replacing the bridge, ADOT is paving and widening the
roadway; replacing or installing guardrail and signage; and completing other
roadway and safety improvements. The project began in August 2016
and is scheduled for completion in October 2017.
ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway
restrictions and closures, but it’s possible that unscheduled impacts might
occur because of weather or other factors. For the most current information
about highway conditions statewide, visit ADOT’s Travel Information Site at www.az511.gov, follow ADOT on Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) or call 511, except while
driving.
