New Interchange Connects I-40 With East Kingman

Improved highway access and additional roadway capacity are central to a $44 million transportation project completed in northwestern Arizona. Pulice, a FlatironDragados company, has finished the Flying Fortress Traffic Interchange and its connection to Airway Avenue in Kingman, expanding access between Interstate 40, the airport and surrounding employment and industrial areas.

The project also aims to ease congestion along Kingman's section of historic Route 66 and improve access to land designated for future development. Pulice began construction in 2024 and completed the work on schedule in 2026.

The interchange opened following a public event attended by representatives of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the City of Kingman and other community partners.

Roadway Improvements and Construction Scope

The $44 million project includes a new interchange on I-40 at milepost 57 and new sections of four-lane Flying Fortress Parkway, previously known as Rancho Santa Fe Parkway. The roadway provides a connection between the interchange and Airway Avenue.

Additional improvements include bicycle lanes, sidewalks, curb and gutter installations, and a raised median. These elements expand transportation infrastructure in east Kingman and are intended to accommodate future traffic demand while reducing pressure on the existing East Kingman interchange.

The project team worked with ADOT and other project partners throughout construction. The completed infrastructure provides an additional access point for airport users, nearby employers and industrial properties.

Regional Access and Development Implications

The interchange strengthens connections between I-40 and key destinations in Kingman, including the airport and surrounding commercial and industrial areas. Improved access to development-ready land is also a stated objective of the project.

For construction owners, developers and contractors, transportation improvements of this type can provide better connectivity to employment centers and sites targeted for future development. The project adds highway access and supporting roadway infrastructure without the source specifying any associated private development commitments or new construction projects.
