Closures on State Route 264 on January 4, 2017

If traveling on SR264 near milepost 446, plan for delays and consider alternate routes on January 4, 2017.

The Arizona Department of Transportation is scheduled to set 12 bridge girders on Wednesday, Jan. 4, requiring a series of highway closures that will impact drivers in both directions.

East- and westbound SR 264 will be closed in 30-minute increments at milepost 446 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. while work is underway. Milepost 446 is a half mile west of the intersection of SR 264 and US 191 South in Ganado.

Drivers should plan for delays of at least 30 minutes. Access will be permitted only for emergency responders when feasible. After each bridge girder is set and braced, traffic will be allowed through the work area.

The work is part of a $24 million highway safety improvement project on SR 264 from the community of Burnside to Ganado on the Navajo Nation. In addition to replacing the bridge, ADOT is paving and widening the roadway; replacing or installing guardrail and signage; and completing other roadway and safety improvements. The project began in August 2016 and is scheduled for completion in October 2017.
