Intermittent delays on Interstate 8 in Yuma scheduled Dec. 12

Drivers should expect delays and allow extra travel time

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan ahead for lane restrictions on Interstate 8 in Yuma on Sunday, Dec. 12. 

Contractors are scheduled to complete utility work that will require aerial crossings between milepost 9 and Avenue 8 1/2 E (milepost 10).

To protect the safety of the workers and the public, I-8 will close intermittently in both directions between 6 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Motorists should plan for closures up to 10 minutes in both directions during the work.

Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic.

ADOT reminds motorists to plan for delays, proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
