CAMERON – The Arizona Department of Transportation has begun on improvements to a 9-mile segment of US 89 at Moenkopi Wash, starting about 10 miles north of Cameron and continuing north about 5 miles past the junction of US 89 and US 160.

The project includes new pavement and striping, new guardrail, shoulder and drainage improvements.

Work will take place Monday through Thursday during daylight hours, with some night work to occur during the paving portion of the project. There will be reduced speeds and lane restrictions at various locations during work hours and flaggers will be used to guide vehicles through the work zone.

This project is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2014.
