The Arizona
Department of Transportation advises Tucson-area drivers to plan for the
following restrictions as construction on State Route 86 (Ajo Way) continues
between Valencia and Kinney roads:
Beginning at
5 a.m. Monday, April 17, Tucson Estates Parkway at State Route 86 is scheduled
to close around the clock for approximately five weeks to construct and pave
the new intersection and roadway to the north.
- Traffic on SR 86 will be
detoured to Kinney Road and onto Bopp Road.
- Access to Tucson Estates
Parkway will be via Bopp Road.
- Drivers will see a “Road Closed
to Through Traffic” sign; however, space for local traffic to enter will
be provided.
Beginning at
9 a.m. Monday, April 17, traffic on SR 86 will be shifted to the south at
Camino Verde for lane striping. When striping is complete, traffic on SR 86
will be shifted to the north side.
- Crews and traffic devices will
guide drivers through the work zone.
-
Business access will not be affected.
Sunset
Boulevard, just south of SR 86, is closed around the clock through early May
2017.
-
Drivers on SR 86 are using
Kinney Road to Irvington Road to access Sunset Road
- Drivers on Sunset Road are
using Irvington Road to Kinney Road to access SR 86.
The turnoff
from SR 86 to Old Ajo Way, east of Camino Verde (near milepost 164) is
permanently closed until further notice. The closure is for the construction of
a new westbound alignment that will provide better future access with the new
Camino Verde signalized intersection. Access to Camino Verde and the Drexel
Heights Fire Station will always remain open.
All work is
part of the ongoing project to widen and improve a segment of SR 86 between
Valencia and Kinney roads.
ADOT works
to inform the public about planned highway restrictions and closures, but it’s
possible that unscheduled impacts might occur because of weather or other
factors. For the most current information about highway conditions statewide,
visit ADOT’s Traveler Information Site at www.az511.gov, follow ADOT
on Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) or call 511, except while driving.
