PHOENIX — A section of a road project widening 5 miles of US 93 from two to four lanes in Wickenburg has been completed, the Arizona Department of Transportation announced Thursday.

The project cost $55 million and added the extra lanes between Tegner Street and Wickenburg Ranch Way, according to ADOT.

Additional improvements made include roundabouts, new pavement, lighting, drainage systems, erosion prevention and landscaping.

The larger plan is to completely widen and reconstruct the entire 200-mile section of US 93 from Wickenburg to the Hoover Dam into a four-lane divided highway.

What’s next for US 93 widening project?

A $26 million federal grant will extend the length of another section of the US 93 highway by 1.27 miles between Wickenburg Ranch Way and just northwest of State Route 89.

There also is a $106 million project underway to connect US 93 highway and Interstate 40 in Kingman. This will help prevent traffic delays for travelers and semi-trucks on the popular route between Arizona and Las Vegas.

Additionally, a $48.8 million project in the Cane Springs area between I-40 and Wikieup is set to start next year.

More information about the plans to improve US 93 is available online.
