KINGMAN TRANSPORTATION MASTER PLAN
BACKGROUND
Kingman and the surrounding area have experienced population growth over the last several decades. With this growth comes a need to provide upgraded transportation infrastructure, which will be guided by a comprehensive multimodal Transportation Master Plan (TMP).
In addition to the needs associated with continued growth, Kingman has other unique challenges. The area is bisected by I-40 and the BNSF railroad. These facilities are vital for regional travel and freight movement but also present barriers to local access and circulation.
Three large-scale freeway interchange projects are expected to be constructed in the next few years in the Kingman area – I-40/US 93 West Kingman, I-40/Kingman Crossing, and I-40/Rancho Santa Fe. These freeway interchange projects will improve access, change traffic patterns, and promote safety. There are also several other plans and studies underway or completed since the last Kingman area transportation study was conducted in 2011 that need to be considered and incorporated into the TMP.
