WINDOW ROCK— Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren signed a service contract on May 13, 2026, to support critical pavement repair work on Navajo Routes N12, N27, and N59 in Oak Springs, Nazlini, and Dennehotso, Arizona. The agreement with CB Emulsion, LLC totals $1,999,902 and will address deteriorating roadway conditions that have impacted safety and travel for community members.
“Improving roads across the Navajo Nation has always been one of my top priorities because our people depend on safe and reliable transportation every day,” said President Nygren. “From school buses and emergency response vehicles to families traveling between communities, these investments are about protecting our people and continuing to build stronger infrastructure for future generations.”
The project will focus on repairing damaged pavement sections along key travel corridors, including areas between Oak Springs and Chilchinbito, where roadway conditions have continued to worsen over time. These repairs are intended to improve driving conditions, reduce hazards for motorists, and strengthen long-term transportation safety for residents who rely on these routes daily.
The contract supports ongoing efforts by the Navajo Division of Transportation to restore aging roadways and provide safer travel conditions for the public. Officials noted that repairing these failing pavement sections is critical to protecting travelers and maintaining dependable access between Navajo communities.
