It took a long time, but the Arizona Department of Transportation has finally paid attention to the long-awaited revitalization of State Route 95 through the city of Lake Havasu. Scheduled to begin next week, this significant construction project marks a pivotal moment for the region and should bring about positive change for residents and visitors alike.
It is important to note that while this transformation is underway, drivers should exercise caution and some delays can be expected during the evening and early morning hours. However, this short-term inconvenience will be paltry compared to the long-term benefits that await residents and visitors.
The extra frustration and delays due to traffic restrictions will be well worth it in the end.
The project covers 42 miles of road from SARA Park to Interstate 40 and includes extensive measures to improve safety and ensure smoother travel for all.
Valued at a total of $18.5 million, the effort includes the removal and replacement of aging asphalt, as well as upgrades to curbs, gutters, sidewalk ramps and pavement markings. Such comprehensive improvements will undoubtedly contribute to a more comfortable and efficient travel experience for drivers. We are pleased that ADOT has finally begun investing in this critical infrastructure, which plays a key role in supporting the local economy and tourism industry, following much-needed pressure from state representatives in the state legislatures.
This extra consideration will pave the way for a more enjoyable and efficient travel experience for everyone passing through this important artery.
