Improvements to I-40 Canyon Diablo bridges east of Flagstaff

Improvements to I-40 Canyon Diablo bridges east of Flagstaff

The Interstate 40 project will replace the eastbound and improve the westbound bridge surfaces over Canyon Diablo on I-40, approximately 35 miles east of Flagstaff.

The $1.4 million Arizona Department of Transportation project began earlier this month. Crews will maintain a single-lane on eastbound I-40 across the bridge through fall of 2016. Westbound I-40 also will utilize one lane intermittently throughout the project while the westbound bridge surface is being improved. Access across the bridge will be maintained at all times, with loads restricted to a 12’ maximum width for the duration of the project.

Crews will generally work weekdays during daylight hours, though occasional night and weekend work may be required.

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, obey posted speed limits and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
