PHOENIX — 2025 is shaping up to be a big year for improvement projects on the Interstate 40 and US 93 corridors in northwestern Arizona.
In fact, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is managing over 20 ongoing and upcoming projects along the main motorways between metro Phoenix and Las Vegas.
The first new initiative of the new year will be an $80.6 million project to widen 4 miles of US 93 between Wikieup and I-40 from two undivided lanes to four divided lanes.
It’s the next step of a long-term plan to create a four-lane divided highway over the full 200 miles of US 93 between Wickenburg and Nevada. Construction is set to begin in January and continue into 2026.

Improvement projects in Kingman to continue
Further along the route from the Valley to Las Vegas, work will continue on a new I-40 interchange at US 93 in Kingman. The $106 million project started in mid-2024 and is expected to last until 2027.
Under the current configuration, traffic through the area has to stop at a signal where Beale Street crosses I-40. The new interchange will allow traffic to flow freely between I-40 and US 93.
Construction will also continue on a new I-40 interchange at Rancho Santa Fe Parkway. The $44 million project is designed to relieve congestion at the Andy Devine Avenue interchange and improve access to the Kingman Airport.
