"Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children." ~Sitting Bull PHOENIX - The Arizona Department of Transportation will have crews working on improving the intersection of Avenue 8E and US 95 and is warning drivers of possible delays. The department said work will begin on Monday, April 1 to install a new traffi c signal, build concrete pedestrian ramps and repave the intersec- tion. Crews will be working between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays. US 95 will be restricted to one lane between Avenue 7E and Avenue 8E. Avenue 8E will remain open for much of the work, with occasional closures dur- ing installation of the traffi c signal and paving. The project is expected to be fi nished in late October. ADOT suggests for those trying to avoid delays, use 24th Street between Araby Road and Avenue 9E. Drivers traveling north on US 95 to the Yuma Proving Grounds and Quartzsite can take Interstate 8, exit at Fortuna Road, and drive north to US 95. Yuma road work planned all summer
