Avenue 3E Bridge, Gila Ridge Road to 24th Street

Preliminary work is under way on a $7 million project to improve and widen the Avenue 3E Bridge located between Gila Ridge Road and 24th Street in Yuma, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. The project is a cooperative effort between ADOT and the City of Yuma and is scheduled for completion in summer 2013.

The project includes widening the bridge over the railroad tracks from two to six lanes with a center median, new pavement, and pedestrian walkways. Two-way traffic is expected to be maintained during expansion of the bridge, which will be built to include three lanes each direction when complete. There will be some speed limit reductions during this project.

Traffic will be restored in all directions by 7 a.m. Friday.
