Project underway to replace 13 miles of pavement on highway between Phoenix, Las Vegas

PHOENIX – A pavement improvement project is underway along the primary highway route between Phoenix and Las Vegas.

Worn asphalt is being replaced along 13 miles of US 93 northwest of Wickenburg, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Most of the work on the $27.5 million project will be done overnight Mondays-Fridays. However, the effort will require some daytime and weekend highway restrictions.

ADOT will post road restriction notices on the project’s webpage.

At times, US 93 will be reduced to just one lane, with traffic led by pilot cars getting through the work zone in alternating directions. Flaggers will stop motorists as they wait their turn.

When will US 93 pavement project be completed?

Plans call for the work to be finished in spring 2026. The project area runs from Moore Ranch Road (about 15 miles from Wickenburg) at milepost 185 to milepost 172.

In addition to the asphalt work, crews will replace guardrails and end terminals, repair a bridge deck and install new pavement markings.
