The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for extended delays on State Route 260 west of Heber-Overgaard as a roadway safety improvement project progresses. Restrictions are scheduled daily from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 5 a.m. to noon Fridays.
Motorist should expect long delays while the following restrictions are in place:
- SR 260 will be narrowed to one lane only with alternating east- and westbound travel between Rim Road to Heber-Overgaard (mileposts 282 - 304)
- There will be multiple flagging stations with pilot cars in each direction to guide drivers through the work zone.
- The speed limit will be reduced to 25 mph.
- An 11-foot vehicle-width restriction will be in place. Wider loads can be accommodated with 12-hours notice.
- Delays through the work zone typically increase later in the week as traffic volumes increase.
Traffic restrictions will be removed during non-working hours, weekends and holidays.
ADOT advises drivers to slow down and be prepared to stop in the work zone while the safety improvement project is underway.
The $24.9 million project includes extending and improving drainage facilities, constructing a 5-foot shoulder on both sides of the roadway, guardrail improvements, spot pavement repairs and restriping of the roadway. Construction is scheduled through summer 2026.
