HOLBROOK – A key business corridor connecting with Interstate 40 in Holbrook has refreshed pavement thanks to an Arizona Department of Transportation project.
This mile-long stretch of Business 40 (B-40), also known as Navajo Boulevard, is home to more than 50 downtown businesses and connects multiple highways with the Navajo Nation.
The $2.1 million project, which began in September 2024, replaced pavement between Crestview Drive and Joy Nevin Avenue and poured new concrete sections across B-40 at Florida and Erie streets, revitalizing the street for both business owners and shoppers.
The project also installed ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps at 24 locations, ensuring all residents can safely access storefronts from the street.
In coordination with the city, ADOT minimized disruption to businesses by completing most work overnight.
This is another way ADOT works to connect people and empower the economy across Arizona safely, in this case, on a major route between Northeast and Central Arizona. The project also supports ADOT’s commitment to protecting Arizona’s investment in pavement.
