Kingman, AZ – Drivers traveling northwest of Kingman should expect significant overnight traffic changes as a major paving project begins along a key stretch of U.S. 93.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation, the work is taking place between Chloride and Fort Beale Drive, covering mileposts 48 through 71. The project began Monday and is expected to continue through June, bringing intermittent lane restrictions to the busy corridor.
US 93, also known locally as Beale Street, will be reduced to one lane during overnight hours from 6 p.m. to 7 a.m., Sunday through Friday. Traffic will alternate directions using flaggers and a pilot car to guide vehicles safely through the work zone.
Transportation officials said the project includes paving improvements along with the installation of new guardrails, curbs, and rumble strips. These upgrades are designed to improve road safety and create a smoother driving experience for motorists who frequently travel between Kingman and surrounding communities.
Drivers are urged to plan for potential delays, especially during nighttime hours when lane closures are in effect. Officials recommend allowing extra travel time, reducing speed in construction zones, and following posted signage and personnel directions.
The stretch of U.S. 93 serves as a critical route for both local commuters and regional traffic, connecting northern Arizona to Interstate 40 and beyond. The improvements are part of ongoing efforts to maintain and modernize infrastructure in the region.
No full closures have been announced, but conditions may change depending on construction progress and weather.
