CHINO VALLEY — The closure of State Route 89 at the Hell Canyon Bridge (milepost 346) has been scheduled for tomorrow night Friday (May 13) to accommodate concrete work on the new bridge, between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.

Drivers traveling on SR 89 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 5:30 p.m. on Friday night to 8 a.m. Saturday morning. Minimal delays are expected.

The next milestone for the bridge replacement project will be to open the new bridge to two-way traffic in mid-June. 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.
