Interstate 40 and Beulah Boulevard traffic impacts

Flagstaff drivers should prepare for traffic impacts including lane restrictions and full closures while crews continue bridge work at Interstate 40 and Beulah Boulevard. Crews are scheduled to pour a new eastbound I-40 bridge deck over Beulah Boulevard.

One-direction overnight closures of Beulah Boulevard are scheduled for the following times:

Southbound Beulah will be closed from 9 p.m., Friday, July 20, through 1 a.m., Saturday, July 21. The southbound Beulah Boulevard detour route takes drivers north to Forest Meadows Street, east to I-17 and south onto southbound I-17 to the J.W. Powell/I-17 Interchange, then north on Beulah Boulevard.
Northbound Beulah will be closed from 12:01 to 7 a.m., Saturday, July 21. The northbound Beulah Boulevard detour route takes drivers southbound to the J.W. Powell/ I-17 Interchange and then north on I-17 to Forest Meadows Street, then west to Beulah Boulevard.

In addition, the following restrictions are in place:

I-17 is reduced to one lane in both directions through Tuesday, July 17.

Interstate 40 is reduced to one lane in both directions through August.

The northbound I-17 to westbound I-40 ramp remains closed for the duration of the project. Traffic that would normally use this ramp is being detoured onto I-40 eastbound, then exiting at Butler Avenue and heading west on I-40.

Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
