UPDATE: I-10 ramp closures at Mescal Road/J-Six Ranch exit continue next week

Westbound I-10 to close at SR 90 Tuesday night through early Wednesday

Ramp closures will continue next week on Interstate 10 east of Tucson while the Arizona Department of Transportation continues work on a project to improve the interstate between the junctions of State Route 83 and State Route 90.

Motorists traveling between Tucson and Benson will encounter the following restrictions:

  • The eastbound I-10 off-ramp at Mescal Road/J-Six Ranch (Exit 297) will be closed on Monday (March 21) from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m. During this closure, eastbound I-10 motorists can continue to State Route 90 (Exit 302) and return to westbound I-10 to access Mescal/J-Six.

  • The westbound I-10 on ramp from Mescal/J-Six (Exit 297) will be closed Monday (March 21) from 6 a.m. until 4 p.m. This work had been scheduled for later in the week. During this closure, motorists using Mescal/J-Six to access westbound I-10 can take eastbound I-10 to Empirita Road (Exit 292) and return to westbound I-10.

  • Westbound I-10 will be closed at the junction of State Route 90 (Exit 302) from 9 p.m. on Tuesday (March 22) until 5 a.m. Wednesday (March 23). This full closure of westbound I-10 will allow ADOT crews to set girders on the Davidson Canyon Bridge, located 20 miles east of Tucson. During this closure, westbound I-10 traffic will be detoured onto SR 90 to State Route 82 and State Route 83 to return to westbound I-10 at Exit 281 east of Tucson.

The work is part of a $15.1 million project to repave approximately 17 miles of I-10 between Tucson and Benson and replace the westbound I-10 bridge at Davidson Canyon.

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
