Mohave County and the Arizona Department of Transportation have initiated a feasibility study to evaluate potential safety improvements to the intersection of US 93 and Pierce Ferry Road.

The US 93 and Pierce Ferry Road intersection (County Route 25, milepost 42) is located approximately 25 miles northwest of Kingman. It is a primary gateway to Grand Canyon West and Lake Mead National Recreation Area and serves a high volume of tourists year-round as well as the communities of Dolan Springs and Meadview.

The project team is working on a draft report, which is expected to be completed in October 2020. Initial study information, including the Technical Working Paper #1, is posted https://azdot.gov/US93PierceFerry.

The study’s final feasibility report is expected to be completed in January 2021, and will be posted to the project site. The final report will include:

• Traffic engineering evaluation of crash and traffic volume data.
• Conceptual improvement alternatives, including engineering analysis of monetized benefits and costs.
• A recommended improvement alternative to provide physical separation of traffic movements – by way of ramp(s) of similar grade separation – that may significantly reduce the likelihood of future crash occurrences at the study location.
