Kingman, Ariz., Traffic Interchange Work Nears End By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
Pulice Construction Inc. is expected to deliver the Arizona Department of Transportation's (ADOT) $43.95 million I-40: Rancho Santa Fe Traffic Interchange project in the city of Kingman by late spring or early summer 2026. The initiative, which began in December 2024, involves building a new interchange and roads. The work, in coordination with the city and the Federal Highway Administration, addresses area congestion and population growth. “This project is providing access and accommodates future traffic volumes generated in the rapidly growing east Kingman area and to relieve congestion at the existing East Kingman interchange (Andy Devine Avenue/State Route 66, Exit 54 — three miles east of the work zone),” according to the project web page. The average daily traffic on I-40 near the future Rancho Santa Fe interchange is approximately 24,000 vehicles. Just 3 mi. west at Andy Devine Avenue, the count increases to approximately 32,000 vehicles. “Population is growing rapidly in the city,” said Zachary Johnson, Pulice’s project manager. “Most of the land around the interchange is owned by developers or is currently being developed. This interchange will provide immediate access to the I-40 for thousands of residents, cutting their commute time by up to 10-15 minutes.” Widening Existing Bridges, Building New Ones The future Rancho Sante Fe Parkway, now called the Flying Fortress Parkway, includes widening the two I-40 bridges over Rattlesnake Wash, constructing two new I-40 bridges at the Ranch Santa Fe interchange and building four ramps at the interchange. Pulice also is building two four-lane streets — one along Rancho Santa Fe Parkway, north of I-40 between I-40 and Santa Rosa Drive, and another along Rancho Santa Fe

Parkway, south of I-40, between I-40 and Louise Avenue — which include bicycle lanes, sidewalks, curb and gutter and a raised center median. In a separate project, the city is constructing a two-lane street along Parkway, north of I-40, between Grand Canyon Road and Industrial Boulevard, that will connect to the Kingman Municipal Airport. The drainage and underground infrastructure elements include installing pipe culverts, concrete box culverts and storm drains. The project was designed by AECOM. “[The challenges included] designing for future development, and working with both the city and ADOT details,” Johnson said. The Flying Fortress Parkway is based on PCCP (concrete)
lanes, while the ramps are asphalt (AC), as is the I-40 main line. So far, Pulice has completed the following elements: widening the Rattlesnake Wash bridge and detouring traffic onto ramps. The remaining work consists of finishing the construction of the Rancho Santa Fe Parkway bridges, four ramps and the Flying Fortress Parkway. “Our schedule has been very accurate,” Johnson said. “[We’re] aiming to finish the job later this year. The city and ADOT did an amazing job relocating all of the utilities that were in our way prior to construction. They also provided water meters for us swiftly. “The soil on our job site is very rocky — this can cause some challenges, [although] nothing that we cannot overcome. We have very minimal night work on this job, and see INTERCHANGE page 7
