The Arizona Department of Transportation ( ADOT ) is advising drivers to plan ahead because of the restrictions on US 95 and Avenue 8E.

According to ADOT , the restrictions are being put in place due to completion of final paving.

They will begin on September 16 at 4 a.m. and end on September 17 at 12:01 a.m.

US 95 will be narrowed to one lane in both directions between Avenue 7E (milepost 30.67) and Avenue 8E (milepost 31.17)

The speed limit will be reduced to 35-mph.

Avenue 8E will be closed.

A 12-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place.

Local traffic can use 24th street from Araby Road to Avenue 9E to avoid the area during working hours.

Bypass traffic can use Interstate 8 from the 16th Street Exit to the Fortuna Road Exit to north Highway 95 for access to the Yuma Proving Ground and Quartzsite .
