US 93 Cane Springs improvement project north of Wikieup is underway

MOHAVE COUNTY – The Arizona Department of Transportation advises motorists that construction is underway on the US 93 Cane Springs improvement project located north of Wikieup.

Crews will be working during the next several weeks to clear the work zone in preparation of mobilizing construction equipment to the area. Most of the construction will take place off of US 93 and will have limited impact to motorists. The speed limit will be reduced to allow for heavy equipment to safely access the work zone.

Located approximately 13 miles north of Wikieup, the project will include the following elements:

  • Widening a 4-mile segment of US 93 from a two-lane undivided roadway to a 4-lane divided highway between mileposts 106 and 110.
  • Constructing two new bridges over Cane Springs Wash and removing the existing bridge (milepost 109).
  • Improving and/or installing drainage and sediment-control facilities, including culverts, pipes and ditches. 
  • Reconstructing the intersection turnout at Upper Trout Creek Road.

The project is expected to be completed in 2027.
