Wikieup, AZ – Drivers traveling through northwestern Arizona are facing major delays today after a crash forced the complete closure of US 93 near Wikieup, cutting off a key route between Phoenix and Las Vegas.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), US 93 is closed in both directions at milepost 107, north of Wikieup, following a crash reported earlier today. Officials say there is no estimated time to reopen the highway as crews continue to respond at the scene.
US 93 is a critical corridor through Mohave County, frequently used by commuters, commercial drivers, and travelers heading between Phoenix, Kingman, and Las Vegas. The closure is expected to cause significant delays and detours, especially during daytime travel hours.
ADOT has not released details about injuries or the number of vehicles involved. Motorists are advised to avoid the area entirely and plan alternate routes if possible. Travelers can monitor live traffic conditions through AZ511.gov or the AZ511 mobile app, which provides real-time updates on closures, delays, and detours statewide.
Drivers already in the region may experience extended backups while emergency responders and road crews work to clear the crash scene and assess roadway conditions. Weather and terrain in the area can also slow response times, adding to uncertainty around reopening.
Motorists heading north toward Kingman or south toward Wickenburg and Phoenix should allow extra time or delay travel until the highway reopens.
