This advisory updates the schedule for upcoming restrictions on Interstate 40 and Meteor Crater Bridge.

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for restrictions on Interstate 40 and Meteor Crater Bridge – about 30 miles east of Flagstaff – from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 5, as work continues on the Meteor Crater Bridge rehabilitation project.

  • East- and westbound I-40 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction.
    • Speed will be reduced to 45 mph and a 16-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place.
  • Meteor Crater Road will be closed between the east- and westbound I-40 on- and off-ramps.
    • Detour from westbound I-40 to southbound Meteor Crater Road: Exit at Two Guns Road (milepost 230) and then re-enter the highway eastbound and exit at Meteor Crater Road.
    • Detour from northbound Meteor Crater Road to westbound I-40: Drive eastbound on I-40 and exit at Meteor City Road. Re-enter the highway to proceed westbound on I-40.

ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while work is underway.
