Kingman, AZ – Westbound lanes of Interstate 40 near Kingman have reopened Monday evening after a crash prompted a full closure earlier in the day, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT).
ADOT reported the closure around 4:45 p.m. due to a crash at milepost 62, east of Kingman. Officials initially warned drivers of heavy delays and advised checking AZ511 for live updates. By 5:45 p.m., all lanes were confirmed open and traffic resumed normal flow.
According to ADOT, the westbound lanes had been temporarily blocked as crews responded to the incident and cleared the roadway. No further details about possible injuries or the number of vehicles involved were immediately available Friday evening.
The crash occurred along a heavily traveled section of I-40 connecting Kingman to Ash Fork, a key route for westbound traffic heading toward California. Drivers in the area reported delays during the closure period as traffic was temporarily redirected.
Motorists are reminded to use caution and monitor real-time updates through online updates or the AZ511 mobile app when traveling through the Kingman area.
