Mojave County has more than $4.13 million in road construction projects planned by 2025.
Projects in the Lake Havasu City area include planned shoulder expansions of Gold Springs Road and Blue Canyon Road in the Horizon Six Improvement District, an unincorporated area east of the city.
The county’s Capitol Road Improvement Program, approved by the Board of Supervisors last week, lists possible road improvement projects over a five-year period and the cost of each. This year’s Capital Road Improvement Program lists a total of about $113 million for future projects through 2028, but it remains to be seen if these projects will materialize.
This program requires annual approval by the county board of trustees. And with the county facing a projected deficit of $18 million in fiscal 2025, county officials may have to alter future construction plans if necessary.
Federal grants are expected to support projects over the next two fiscal years, and $2.54 million in federal funding is expected to support multiple construction projects across the county.
Other projects are currently being planned, such as the Pierce Ferry Road in Doran Springs and the enhancement of the Sand Hollow Wash Bridge in Mojave County. About $1 million in federal funding will also be used to install traffic control signs on local highways, according to county records.
