Drivers on Interstate 40 in northern Arizona are advised
to plan for travel delays because of traffic realignment and ramp closures at
Garland Prairie and Pittman Valley roads. Crews are repairing 17 miles of
pavement on I-40 between Parks and Williams. The project also includes making
bridge deck repairs at Garland Prairie and Pittman Valley roads.
Beginning in August, as crews complete work to rebuild 5
westbound miles between mileposts 167 and 172, all traffic will be moved to the
westbound lanes using a temporary crossover in that section. Crews will begin
work on the eastbound section of the freeway and will close the eastbound on-
and off-ramps at Garland Prairie and Pittman Valley roads for the next few
months. Traffic will be detoured onto the Parks and East Williams traffic
interchanges.
On July 30,
the following ramp
closures are scheduled to be in place:
- The westbound on- and off-ramps at A-1 Mountain Road will be closed from 7
a.m. to noon. Traffic will be detoured to Bellemont, exit 185, to re-enter
eastbound I-40 towards A-1 Mountain Road.
- The eastbound on- and off-ramps at A-1 Mountain Road will be closed from
noon to 5 p.m. Traffic will be detoured to Business Loop, exit 191, to re-enter
westbound I-40 towards A-1 Mountain Road.
On August 3, the eastbound on-ramp and westbound off-ramp
at Parks are scheduled to re-open after being closed for a few weeks while
crews rebuilt a 1-mile section of I-40 in both directions near the interchange.
Work on this 5-mile section of I-40 is anticipated to
wrap up by the fall.
Meanwhile, crews continue to repave other portions of the
highway between mileposts 162 and 179 from Cataract Lake to Parks.
Construction will pause for the winter season and is
scheduled to resume in spring 2019 for additional paving, bridge and
intersection work. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2019.
What to expect:
- Crews are scheduled to work Mondays through Fridays
from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Lane closures, ramp closures and restrictions will
be required
