The City of Kingman's vision to revitalize downtown Kingman is set to begin its third and final phase. The Kingman Downtown Streetscape Project has been under construction since July 2023, and similar types of projects have greatly benefited other downtown areas in Arizona.

The City of Kingman is proud to announce that construction on Phases I and II is substantially complete and Phase III will begin on Tuesday, January 16th.

The Kingman Downtown Beale Street Streetscape Project will improve walkability and aesthetics for residents, merchants, and visitors while preserving the traditional and historic character of downtown.

It connects bicyclists, pedestrians, and vehicle users to several destinations along Beale Street between First and Sixth Streets and connects historic Route 66 with a safe, attractive, comfortable and complete A street is born.

“We are pleased to report that our project is progressing as planned on both budget and schedule. Remaining details for Phases I and II are expected to be in place in February, with project completion by May. The entire project is on track to be completed. We are grateful for the support we have received from the Kingman Area Chamber of Commerce, Kingman Main Street, downtown businesses and the entire community,” said Jack Prunty, Assistant Director of Public Works. .

This project's improvements address infrastructure gaps and deficiencies by improving the pedestrian environment with sidewalks, ramps, and driveways that comply with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

The improvements will also include landscaping, wayfinding, street furniture, and other site amenities within the existing right-of-way. All of these features contribute to the project's place-making and the development of a downtown theme and identity.
