City outlines Highway 95 right-turn lane project; overnight work planned starting Feb. 16
Summary
Bullhead City Public Works briefed council on a planned third-lane/right-turn-lane project along Highway 95 (near Wells Fargo to Terrible's past Safeway), with contractor work to begin Feb. 16 and overnight lane closures from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.; final striping will follow after pavement curing.
Bullhead City — City staff on Jan. 20 provided details about a planned right-turn lane project along Highway 95 that will add an additional lane (described as a third lane/right-turn lane) through a congested corridor near Safeway and Terrible’s.
The Public Works director said the contractor is expected to begin mobilization Feb. 16 and that much of the work will be performed overnight to reduce daytime closures. “This will be an overnight project or overnight construction. It'll start at 6PM to 6AM. There will be lane closures at night, and then we will pull the cones back to the shoulder and leave the road open full during the day,” the director said.
Staff said temporary striping will be applied for public access and safety, with final permanent striping to follow after pavement curing (approximately 30 to 45 days afterward). Council members and the manager noted the project’s complexity — including removing a small hill and adding access points — and committed to frequent public updates while the contractor completes punch-list items.
City officials said the work is intended to improve traffic flow through a congested corridor and warned residents and businesses of possible nighttime delays during construction.
