Transportation crews are approaching the midpoint on a project to construct 4 miles of a divided four-lane highway along US 93 between the Valley and Las Vegas, state transportation officials said.

The $80.6 million project is 45% complete as work continues to widen the two-lane segment of US 93 between Wikieup and Interstate 40, according to an Arizona Department of Transportation release.

“Since work began in January, crews have completed earthwork for the highway’s new southbound lanes,” the release stated.

Crews’ efforts are now at Cane Springs Wash, where piers are in place for a pair of 132-foot-long bridges. Cranes are expected to hoist girders in place in late August, when each structure will receive 15 girders, according to officials.

The project, which is 13 miles north of Wikieup, also includes: 

• Removing the existing bridge over Cane Springs Wash at milepost 109 once traffic shifts to the new structures.
• Improving and/or installing drainage and sediment-control facilities, including culverts, pipes and ditches. 
• Reconstructing the intersection turnout at Upper Trout Creek Road.

The new southbound lanes are expected to open in spring of 2026, with the project’s completion anticipated in spring 2027, the release stated.
