Published February 4, 2022 7:17 AM

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) — Driving to Dateland soon? Be ready for alternating lane restrictions on Interstate 8 starting Feb. 8.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADT) warns drivers to plan ahead and set extra travel time aside.

ADT's contractors are scheduled to apply an oil-based sealant to further extend the life expectancy of the roads.

The restrictions will be from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. leaving I-8 reduced to one lane in both directions between milepost 66 and South Avenue 68E.

A 14-foot width restriction is set to be in place.

Drivers are expected to follow the posted speed limits and traffic control devices and should use caution near construction personnel.
