I-40 Road condition - From Southern CA to Flagstaff AZ

Hi There,

Just checking in before our trip. We are leaving S. CA to go to Flagstaff and Grand Canyon tomorrow morning and will be in the Flagstaff/Grand Canyon area until next Tuesday. Look like weather will be good this weekend (for this time of the year) . Any advice on road condition on I-40 (S.CA to Flagstaff) ?

Thanks in advance

  • Thanks everyone . Got here (Flagstaff) last night after 9 hours driving from S. CA . Roads are fine and mostly empty .

  • 30 miles or so each side of Kingman I-40 was very rough, full of large potholes. The last time I drove it was about 6 months ago and I know sections right near Kingman were being repaved so perhaps its better now.
  • Have done that trip many times. Never had a problem. Would not drive in snowstorm. Sometimes there was road re-paving where one lane was closed. For AZ portion, check www.az511.gov for traffic alerts just before leaving.
  • just made that trip 10 days ago, well kingman to flagstaff, no problems, no road conditions to speak of, some pretty good passes from kingman to flagstaff, about 6800 feet
