Drivers should allow extra travel time and plan for delays
The Arizona Department of Transportation advises motorists to plan for daytime lane restrictions on US 93 south of Wikieup for pavement maintenance work.
The restrictions will occur from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the following dates:
Monday, Aug. 31, through Thursday, Sept. 3 – US 93 will be narrowed to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel from south of the Santa Maria Bridge to south of Alamo Road (mileposts 162-180).
Tuesday, Sept. 8 – US 93 will be narrowed to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel from Alamo Road to the junction with State Route 71 (mileposts 180 to 182).
- A pilot car and flaggers will be guiding traffic through the work zone.
- A 14-foot vehicle-width restriction will be in place.
- The speed limits will be reduced.
Motorists should be prepared to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment. The restrictions are necessary so crews can place a sealant on the existing asphalt, which helps protect and extend the life of the roadway.
