GRANT ROAD – SPARKMAN BOULEVARD TO SWAN ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
GRANT ROAD AND ALVERNON WAY INTERSECTION RESTRICTIONS
Beginning Monday, December 1, 2025, as part of the current Grant Road Improvement Project, crews will begin constructing the underground infrastructure in the intersection of Grant Road and Alvernon Way including a new sewer line, water main and storm drain.
For the safety of the traveling public and crews, restrictions will be in place at this intersection throughout the duration of this work. Alvernon Way will allow for one direction of travel in each direction northbound and southbound, and Grant Road will allow for one direction of travel in each direction westbound and eastbound. Left turns in all directions will be prohibited during this work.
This work is scheduled to be complete by Spring 2026. The schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances.
The Grant Road Improvement Project from Sparkman Boulevard to Swan Road started in late May 2024. At completion, this improvement project will include six travel lanes, landscaped medians, buffered bike lanes, sidewalks, transit stop upgrades, indirect left turns and protected intersection improvements at Alvernon Way and Grant Road. A 96-inch diameter underground storm drain system will also be constructed throughout the project limits. This project is expected to be complete by the end of 2026.
The Regional Transportation Authority, a political subdivision of the state and independently governed, has invested more than $1.4 billion in transportation projects and services to improve mobility, safety, economic vitality and quality of life in the region. The RTA collects a half-cent excise (sales) tax from its special taxing district within Pima County to fund its 20-year regional transportation plan. The plan and tax were approved by voters in May 2006. The Grant Road Phase 3&4 Improvement Project is part of the RTA plan and is managed by the City of Tucson.
