Road Construction on I-40

May 1, 2022 By admin

I-40 Closed at A-1 Mountain Road for 40 days

Drivers will need to use detour and plan for extra travel time.

April 22, 2022 FLAGSTAFF – The Arizona Department of Transportation will demolish and replace
the A-1 Mountain Road overpass along I-40 in Flagstaff in 40 days thanks to an
innovative bridge construction method.
Crews will use an accelerated bridge construction method known as a
geosynthetic reinforced soil-integrated bridge system. That means crews will
create bridge abutments by putting in alternating layers of granular fill reinforced
with synthetic material. In order to replace the bridge, A-1 Mountain Road will be closed to all traffic over I-40 starting Monday, May 2.

I-40 A-1 Mountain map

During the 40-day closure, drivers will need to use the established detour route. Eastbound I-40 drivers wanting to exit A-1 Mountain Road will be detoured to Exit 191 to turn around and travel west to access A-1 Mountain Road. Drivers on A-1 Mountain Road who want to travel eastbound on I-40 will first travel westbound on I-40  and exit Hughes Avenue (Exit 185) to turn around and travel eastbound.

I-40 will also close overnight at the location of the bridge 16 times in each direction between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. during the 40-day closure so crews can demolish the current bridge and construct the framework for the new bridge. Traffic will use the off- and on-ramps to detour around the closure.

Utilizing this method benefits drivers with a serious savings in construction time, allowing the project to be completed sooner than traditional methods. In addition, a new bridge deck will be constructed using a polyester polymer concrete that can be placed and cured in a matter of days rather than weeks.

The closure is expected to be lifted by Friday, June 10.

ADOT first employed this innovative technique a few years ago when the agency replaced the Meteor City Road bridge over I-40 east of Flagstaff.

The $4.9 million project, located about 5 miles west of the I-17 junction along I-40, is anticipated to be completed by this fall.

For more information on the project, visit azdot.gov/i40-A1-Mountain.
