Construction on the Hermosa Drive Bridge over Interstate 40 in Holbrook will begin on April 5. Drivers can expect daytime and nighttime restrictions, including periodic overnight full closures of I-40 during the project. The first full closure of I-40 is scheduled from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Tuesday, April 5. Additional nightly closures in April include April 7-9; April 11-15; and April 18-20. A detour will be in place using Navajo Blvd when the I-40 full closures are in effect. Eastbound drivers will use Exit 286, proceed eastbound on Navajo Blvd. and then re-enter eastbound I-40 at Exit 289. Westbound drivers will use Exit 289, proceed westbound on Navajo Blvd. and then re-enter westbound I-40 at Exit 286. Additional overnight closures of I-40 are planned throughout the summer. The bridge will receive a new bridge deck, guardrails and barriers. The roadway approaches to the bridge will be improved as well. The project is expected to be completed by this fall. This bridge project continues ADOT’s commitment to invest in the I-40 corridor as a vital highway for commerce. From 2016 to 2020, ADOT invested more than $275 million on the roadway.
