KINGMAN – The City of Kingman held a design meeting with ADOT staff and AECOM last week, and discussed next steps. Working on securing right of way clearance and working with landowners on a public-private partnership that will address funding for the connector streets and utilities; two key tasks moving forward, and keeping the project on schedule. Tentatively, the design could be completed by May 2020, and ADOT could potentially send the project to bid as early as July 2020.
Earlier this year, State Representative Regina Cobb was able appropriate $20 million for the Rancho Santa Fe interchange.
For more than 40 years, the Rancho Santa Fe interchange (previously known as Rattlesnake Wash) has been identified as critical transportation infrastructure needed to boost the economic vitality of northwest Arizona. The interchange and connector roads will connect Kingman’s Municipal Airport and Industrial Park to I-40 and the future I-11 commerce corridor.
The state’s appropriation provides a portion of the funding for the interchange. The City of Kingman is working with landowners on a public-private partnership that will address funding for the connector streets and utilities.
Next steps include:
· Finalize the 95% design of the traffic interchanges and arterial roadways (proposed FY20)
· Identify & Secure Right of Way (FY19 & 20)
