CHINO VALLEY — Due to the anticipated inclement weather on Friday (May 6), crews have canceled the scheduled deck pour on the new bridge on State Route 89 at Hell Canyon (milepost 345). The closure of SR 89, scheduled for tomorrow night between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m., will not occur and has been rescheduled for Friday (May 13) starting at 9 p.m. through Saturday (May 14) at 1 a.m.

Drivers traveling next week on Friday night into Saturday morning need to plan ahead, as the road will be closed in both directions. Law enforcement will be on site to assist with the road closure.

As preparations take place leading up to the closure, crews will have SR 89 narrowed to one lane through the work zone from 6 p.m. on Friday night to 8 a.m. Saturday morning. Minimal delays are expected.

The project is expected to be complete by late summer.

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zones with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
