These following stipulations take effect:

  • I-8 will be reduced to one lane in both directions between mileposts 46 and 66 from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m.
  • Motorists should anticipate a 3-mile lane restriction while crews progress through the work zone.
  • The speed limit will be reduced to 55 mph.

The ADOT is responsible for planning, building and operating a complex highway system in addition to building and maintaining bridges and the Grand Canyon Airport.
