Yuma, AZ – The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) reported Saturday afternoon that the eastbound lanes of Interstate 8 are closed in Yuma at Araby Road due to a crash.
According to ADOT, the closure began around 1:18 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15. Officials said the westbound lanes remain open, but eastbound traffic is being diverted as crews respond to the incident.
Motorists traveling through the Yuma area are advised to expect significant delays and use alternate routes, including 24th Street or U.S. Route 95. The department has not provided an estimated time for reopening the highway.
Traffic cameras in the area show congestion building near Araby Road as emergency and cleanup crews remain on scene.
Drivers are urged to check ADOT’s official social media channels or the Arizona 511 traffic map for live updates before traveling through the region.
This marks the second major closure along I-8 this month, following an earlier traffic disruption east of Wellton.
