Paving on Interstate 40 from Allentown to New Mexico border

Lane closures required to accommodate work

Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) crews continue paving operations on both east- and westbound lanes of Interstate 40 near Allentown, continuing east to the New Mexico border (milepost 353 to 359). Work will require a single lane restriction with one lane in each direction remaining open during construction. Work is scheduled from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily, Monday through Fridays for the next two weeks.

During construction there may be intermittent closures at the Hawthorn, Window Rock and Lupton traffic interchanges within the paving area. ADOT advises travelers to allow for extra time for travel in the area, and to watch for crews and equipment in the work zone.

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