 The Arizona Department of Transportation is improving 16th Street over Interstate 8 which will take place Monday through Friday. Night and weekend work may be required to reduce impacts to traffic. The project will increase the capacity of 16th Street between Yuma Palms Parkway and Arizona Avenue. Improvements include:
- Widening the 16th Street Bridge over I-8 and the rail road track.
- Installing raised medians.
- Adding an auxiliary lane from Yuma Palms Parkway to
westbound I-8.
- Constructing sidewalks, curb and gutter.
- Improving drainage.
- Replacing pavement markers, lighting and signage.

Getting Where You Need To Go…
- Travel around the construction zone instead of through it whenever possible. Using alternative routes will limit both traffic and frustration.
- If you are visiting a business on the north side of 16th Street, try starting from Pacific Avenue. When traveling to businesses on the south side, starting from 1st Avenue will make things easier.
- Interstate access at 16th Street will be available, but getting on or off I-8 will be easier from another exit such as Giss Parkway or Avenue 3E.

Useful Tips for Planning Ahead…
- You CAN make left turns ONTO 16th Street from cross streets with traffic signals. (Eastbound and Westbound I-8 exits, Redondo Center Drive, and Arizona Avenue)
- Some businesses CAN be accessed from the back of their properties.
- The City of Yuma has made improvements to the alleys just north of 16th Street for easier access to businesses in the area.
- There are NO U-turns on 16th Street at Yuma Palms Parkway or 1st Avenue, so if you need to turn around, do so by turning onto a nearby cross street and looping around the block back onto 16th Street in the desired location.
