YUMA - The Arizona Department of Transportation will be applying a protective coat of oil to a sixteen-mile stretch of US 95 south of Quartzsite. The work is scheduled from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday (April 28) and Friday (April 29).
What to expect during work hours:
•Crews will temporarily close approximately eight miles of northbound and southbound US 95.
•Workers will temporarily stop traffic as they direct motorists through the construction zone.
Delays of up to 15 minutes can be expected. Motorists are advised to plan ahead and leave early to their destination. Message boards will be displayed to advise drivers of temporary closures and restrictions. The speed limit will be reduced in the construction zone.
ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
