Ganado Wash bridge work extends to second day Plan for 30-minute delays on SR 264 Thursday, Jan. 5

Phase one construction of a new bridge on State Route 264 over the Ganado Wash will extend to a second day. Drivers should plan for highway closures in both directions on Thursday, Jan. 5. Work to set 12 bridge girders at the Ganado Wash began on Jan. 4, but was slowed by an unanticipated equipment malfunction, requiring a second day of work.


East- and westbound SR 264 will be closed in 30-minute increments at milepost 446 between 7 and 11 a.m. while crews continue setting bridge girders. Milepost 446 is a half-mile west of the intersection of SR 264 and US 191 South in Ganado.
Access will be permitted only for emergency responders when feasible. After each bridge girder is set and braced, traffic will be allowed through the work area.

Schedules are subject to change because of weather or other unforeseen circumstances.


The bridge replacement is part of a $24 million highway safety improvement project on SR 264 from the community of Burnside to Ganado on the Navajo Nation. ADOT is also paving and widening the roadway; replacing or installing guardrail and signage; and completing other roadway and safety improvements. The project began in August 2016 and is scheduled for completion in October 2017.


ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions and closures, but it’s possible that unscheduled impacts might occur because of weather or other factors.
