KINGMAN, Ariz. – The City of Kingman has begun work on the highly anticipated Eastern Street realignment project. This project was budgeted as part of the City’s FY24 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan, to create a more cohesive traffic flow for that area of town. Over the next few weeks, there will be some ancillary work on the channel, box culverts, and waterline realignment. During the first phase of the project, traffic impacts should be minimal. Further updates will be given when the team starts constructing the new roadway.
Mike Garmon, Acting City Engineer, said, “The Eastern Street re-alignment project addresses many concerns for staff and residents. We’re excited to begin this construction and look forward to completing the project. This project came in within budget and is expected to be completed by the end of July.”
The project will be completed in two phases and will construct a new entrance to Airway Avenue. This will eliminate the need for one-way traffic on N. Diamond Street and N. Yavapai Street, reducing the impact on the neighborhood.
