Work continues to build new bridges at Bellemont

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises northern Arizona drivers who use Interstate 40 west of Flagstaff to plan for eastbound lane closures and restrictions this weekend and to allow extra travel time.

Drivers should plan for travel delays while eastbound I-40 is narrowed to one lane at Bellemont (Exit 185) from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 7, and Sunday, Sept. 8.

The restrictions are necessary so crews can continue work to replace the bridges on I-40, approximately 13 miles west of Flagstaff. The project is scheduled for completion this fall.

More project information is available here.

Please proceed through the work zone with caution and watch for construction personnel and equipment.

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.
