This initiative, running from Central Street to the city limits, forms part of the ongoing Pavement Preservation Program.

Prescribed Burns in Hualapai Mountains
The Bureau of Land Management’s Colorado River District has outlined plans for upcoming controlled burns in the Hualapai Mountains, about 20-25 miles southeast of Kingman. Targeting areas including Blue Tank and Bull Canyon, these operations are expected to treat roughly 3,000 acres of thick chaparral vegetation. Scheduled between March and the end of April—depending on suitable weather—the burns seek to reduce wildfire risks, lower excess fuel loads, and restore natural fire processes. Smoke may become visible from Kingman, surrounding areas, Interstate 40, or U.S. Highway 93 on active burn days, with updates shared via local media and BLM channels.
