Pavement
improvements will start next week on State Route 88 (Apache
Trail) east of Apache Junction. Drivers who use the historic highway to
destinations such as Canyon Lake and Tortilla Flat should plan for delays and
allow extra travel time when mostly overnight milling and daytime paving along
the Apache Trail is underway.
Nighttime
milling to remove old pavement will be underway near Canyon Lake
Marina and Tortilla Flat from midnight to 9 a.m. Monday,
Feb. 26, and again from midnight to 9 a.m. Friday,
March 2 (milepost 210 to 212). Paving will be underway from
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Tuesday, Feb. 27, and Wednesday,
Feb. 28.
The following week, and continuing until late March, paving will
be underway Monday through Thursday during daytime hours. Weekly milling
operations are scheduled for early morning hours every Friday as crews work
through the project area from milepost 213 to 202. A ten-foot width
restriction will be in place during construction.
A
flagging and a pilot-car operation will allow for alternating travel
through the SR 88 construction work zone. Drivers should always
proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for
construction personnel and equipment.
