UPDATE: ADOT to continue installation of temporary I-10 bridge at Craycroft Road on Friday

Bridge between travel lanes will maintain I-10 traffic during deck replacement work


The Arizona Department of Transportation will resume work to install a temporary construction bridge between the eastbound and westbound travel lanes of Interstate 10 at Craycroft Road on Friday, March 10, to allow work to begin on replacing the interstate bridge decks at the southside Tucson interchange.


Work to set the temporary bridge began on Wednesday, March 8, but delays that day require a second closure of Craycroft Road at I-10 from 9 a.m. until 7 p.m. Friday for the safety of the traveling public.

During the work, all ramps connecting I-10 and Craycroft Road (Exit 268) will remain open to traffic, but Craycroft will be closed beneath the bridges. Eastbound motorists can use Wilmot Road (Exit 269) to return to northbound Craycroft Road on the frontage road. Westbound traffic can continue to Valencia Road (Exit 267) to return to southbound Craycroft Road using the frontage road.

The temporary bridge will remain in place during the replacement of the overpass bridge decks, allowing traffic to remain on the interstate while the decks are replaced one at a time.

The $3.3 million project is scheduled for completion in July 2017.

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