Drivers in the Holbrook area should plan for lane closures and possible delays along a 7-mile stretch of Interstate 40 when the Arizona Department of Transportation performs pavement preservation work.
The road work is scheduled daily from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. beginning Monday, May 4, and ending Thursday, May 7.
ADOT reminds drivers to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while the following restrictions are in place:
- East- and westbound I-40 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction between Perkins Valley Road (milepost 283) and Navajo Boulevard (milepost 289).
- All ramps at Perkins Valley Road (exit 283) will be closed on Monday, May 4.
- All ramps at Hopi Drive (exit 285) will be closed on Tuesday, May 5.
- All ramps at both Navajo Boulevard exits will be closed Wednesday, May 6 (exit 287 & exit 289).
- The speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph in the work zone.
- The vehicle width limit is 13 feet in the work zone.
Crews will be applying a coat of oil on the highway to extend the life of the pavement using a process called fog sealing. This maintenance helps to preserve the condition of the road and postpone the need for more involved measures such as repaving.
With state highways essential to delivering goods and services, ADOT, its employees and its contractor partners are dedicated to delivering transportation improvement projects during the current public health situation. To learn more, please visit azdot.gov/covid-19-resource-center.
