Drivers should plan for upcoming road work on SR 260 between Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside scheduled for March 19

Expect lane restrictions in work zone

Arizona Department of Transportation crews will be performing road-maintenance work on SR 260 between Show Low and Pinetop-Lakeside that will require lane restrictions for up to three weeks. 

Drivers should allow for extra travel time while the traffic restrictions are in place along a 4-mile stretch of SR 260 from milepost 343 to 347. The pavement work, which is scheduled to begin on Monday, March 19, will be done from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Only one lane will be closed at a time in the travel direction that crews are working.  Crews will begin at Show Low and work towards Pinetop-Lakeside in ½-mile to 1-mile segments. The length of the active work zone will be based on the amount of traffic and repair work required on certain portions of the highway. Once crews complete the maintenance work from Show Low to Pinetop-Lakeside, they will work their way back up SR 260 to Show Low.  Crews will be filling cracks in the pavement to preserve and extend the life of the state highway.
