Large Project of the Year Nominee: U.S. 191; Bluff to Arizona State Line Project

Nielson Construction & Materials

The project consists of lane leveling efforts prior to applying a 2” SMA overlay. The 24.5-mile section of U.S. 191 between the Arizona State Line and Bluff flows through Navajo Nation Tribal Lands and provides access to many National Parks and National Monuments. This very picturesque portion of the state was a pleasure to work in. We were able to take a highway that has been deprived of project dollars for several years and were able to improve the ride of the road substantially. There was 18,000 tons of HMA, 55,000 tons of SMA, and the San Juan River bridge deck was rehabilitated in the project. We also provided safety upgrades by installing new guardrails, crash cushions, delineators and rumble strips in the project.
