Restrictions on State Route 86 (Ajo Way) continue between Fuller and Valencia roads

Drivers should plan for heavy delays

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for the following restrictions as construction on State Route 86 (Ajo Way) continues between Fuller and Valencia roads:

SR 86 will be reduced to one lane in both directions from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays through late May for pavement and guardrail work.
Driveways and access roads on SR 86 between Fuller and Valencia roads will be paved through late May. Access to area businesses will remain open.

Traffic will be alternated to the open lane and guided through the work zone by a pilot vehicle, work crews and traffic devices.
The roadway will be a “no passing zone” and motorists will encounter uneven pavement and rough terrain.
Motorists should obey the reduced speed limit and expect heavy delays.

The work is part of a project to improve an 11-mile segment of SR 86 between Fuller and Valencia roads and is scheduled to be complete in summer 2017.

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.

For more information about this project, please call Paki Rico, ADOT senior community relations officer, at 520.388.4233 or email prico@azdot.gov.
