1. Purpose and Need
1. Purpose and Need 1.1 Proposed Action The proposed project involves traffic improvements to United States Highway 93 (U.S. 93) in the Boulder City, Nevada, area. The project limits are between a western boundary at the end of Interstate 515 (I-515) on U.S. 93/United States Highway 95 (U.S. 95) in Henderson (U.S. 95 Milepost [MP] 59.10), approximately 1.6 kilometers (km) (1 mile) north of the Railroad Pass Hotel and Casino, and an eastern boundary on U.S. 93, approximately 1.2 km (0.75 miles) east of the Hacienda Hotel and Casino. The eastern boundary is coincident with the planned western end of the U.S. 93 Hoover Dam Bypass project Nevada Interchange (see Section 2.1). The Boulder City/U.S. 93 Corridor Study covers a total distance of approximately 16.7 km (10.4 miles) on the present route of U.S. 93 (Figure 1-1). U.S. 93 is the major commercial corridor for interstate and international commerce, and it is the single route through Boulder City, functioning as a principal urban arterial. It is a direct north-south link between Phoenix and Las Vegas, which are two of the fastest-growing areas in the United States (U.S.), and it carries a high volume of east-west traffic from Interstate 40 (I-40) to Las Vegas and to Interstate 15 (I-15). U.S. 93, in combination with other highways, creates a continuous Canada to Mexico (CANAMEX) corridor through the U.S. between Calgary, Alberta, and Nogales, Sonora (Figure 1-2).

NH-040-A (AVJ) TOPOCK - KINGMAN HIGHWAY t-40 Prepared for Arizona Department of Transportation October 2009 I-40/US 93 West Kingman TI Feasibility Report Executive Summary Background This study for the I-40/US 93 West Kingman TI, ADOT Project Number 040 MO 48 H732301L, identifies possible corridor alternatives for a new system-to-system directional interchange connecting Interstate 40 (I-40) to United States Route 93 (US 93) near Kingman, AZ. The general location for the various alternative corridors is along I-40 between the Shinarump Drive traffic interchange (TI) and Stockton Hill Road TI (approximate MP 44 to MP 52) and along US 93 between the State Route (SR) 68 TI, near the Kingman Port of Entry, and the existing Beale Street interchange, where US 93 connects with I-40 (approximate MP 67 to MP 71). US 93 is part of the CANAMEX Corridor. The Beale Street interchange between I-40 and US 93 is the third of three “bottleneck” locations along US 93 identified from the previous CANAMEX Corridor study. The first location is Hoover Dam and that area is being addressed with the Hoover Dam Bypass construction. The second location is Wickenburg and that area is being addressed with an interim bypass that began construction in February 2008.
