Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic through the work zone.

Flaggers will be on site to direct traffic through the work zone.

PLEASE NOTE: Additional closures and restrictions impacting New River and Rock Springs roads are being scheduled for the week of February 26 through March 3. Additional information will be provided as schedules are finalized. As always, schedules are subject to change because of weather and other unforeseen factors.
The $10.8 million project includes removing a layer of the existing pavement and applying a new layer of smooth, quiet rubberized asphalt. Crews will also install guardrails, complete necessary bridge work and make other roadway improvements. Work is scheduled for completion by summer 2017.


Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions and closures, but it’s possible that unscheduled impacts might occur because of weather or other factors. For the most current information about highway conditions statewide, visit ADOT’s Traveler Information Site at www.az511.gov, follow ADOT on Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) or call 511,except while driving.
