US 191 closure in Safford scheduled in early November for rail crossing work
An Arizona Eastern Railway crossing improvement project will require the Arizona Department of Transportation to close US 191 in the city of Safford for 58 hours from the evening of Nov. 6 until the morning of Nov. 9.
US 191 will be closed at 8th Street in Safford from 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 6 until 5 a.m. on Monday, Nov. 9. During the closure, US 191 traffic will be detoured onto local streets while crews work to improve the crossing. Message boards with detour information will be in use several days prior to the closure and throughout the weekend.
While the closure is in place, the city of Safford will install new water lines at US 191 and 16th Street on Saturday, Nov. 7 and Sunday, Nov. 8. One lane of US 191 will remain open to through traffic during the daytime work and flagging personnel will direct traffic through the restricted area.
For more information about this project, please contact Navarone Lucero, track foreman for Arizona Eastern Railway, at (928) 221-9824 or by email at navaronelucero@yahoo.com.
