The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers who
use Interstate 8 in Yuma to plan for the following lane restrictions near the
California border early next week:
- I-8 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction near milepost 2 from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 6, and Tuesday, Aug. 7. The work zone is located 2 miles east of the Colorado River overpass at the Arizona-California border.
Crews are scheduled to install traffic sensors in the
roadway in conjunction with a project to construct a “weigh-in-motion” system
for commercial vehicles that drive into the state. The embedded sensors can
determine the approximate weight of commercial vehicles to confirm they comply
with state and federal vehicle-weight requirements.
Motorists should be prepared to merge safely into the open
travel lane and use caution around construction personnel and equipment.
