interstate 40 Kingman Az . to Flagstaff Az.
Has anybody noticed how bad 40 has gotten? I wonder when they might fix it. I've gotten to the point where the loop from Kingman to Sleigman is the way to go.

ADOT is in the process of paving 135 miles of I40 - over the next 3 years (in a dozen segments). Cost is about $1 million per mile.

Repaving projects of existing highways are typically done in segments to minimize traffic disruptions. You wouldn't want to drive the whole way on a 2 lane detour, would you? 10 miles at a time is enough.
Repaving competes with other projects for $, e.g. bridge repairs, landslide repairs, congestion relief. Rough pavement may be a nuisance for drivers, but it seldom blocks or even delays traffic.
