The Arizona Department of Transportation advises
Tucson-area drivers to plan for the following restrictions as construction on
SR 86 (Ajo Way) continues between Valencia and Kinney roads:

86 and Kinney Road will be available only from SR 86 between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Thursday, June 15. Utility work will restrict access to the business driveway
from Kinney Road.
Oklahoma Street, north of SR 86 (milepost 165) is
closed until further notice so crews can make improvements at Tucson Estates
Parkway. Traffic will be detoured to Michigan Street and to Fred Avenue. There
will be a "Road Closed to Through Traffic" sign with space provided
for local traffic to enter. Business access will be maintained.
Traffic on westbound SR 86 is shifted to the south
side of the roadway, just east of Kinney Road, until further notice, to install
a temporary concrete barrier and construct the new westbound roadway.
- Crews and
traffic devices will guide drivers through the work zone.
- Business
access is not affected.
Tucson Estates Parkway at SR 86 is closed around the
clock through June to construct and pave the new intersection and roadway to
the north.

Tucson Estates Parkway is available from Bopp Road or Camino Verde.

The turnoff from SR 86 to Old Ajo Way, east of
