Sidewalk project underway along SR 90 in Huachuca City

Sidewalk project underway along SR 90 in Huachuca City

Motorists traveling westbound on State Route 90 through Huachuca City will encounter travel restrictions for the next month while the Arizona Department of Transportation constructs sidewalks between Patton Street and School Road.

The right lane of westbound SR 90 will be closed within the project boundaries while crews remove existing curb in preparation for constructing the new sidewalk. One lane will remain open to westbound traffic and the posted speed limit is reduced to 35 mph while the restriction is in place.

The new sidewalk on the east side of the highway will be connected with existing sidewalks on School Drive and will meet requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The project also will include:

• Concrete entrances to driveways within the project area
• Landscaping featuring gold-colored decomposed granite adjacent to the sidewalk
• Irrigation sleeves beneath the sidewalks
• A pedestrian rest area with seating
• Trash receptacles
• Drainage improvements and utility adjustments
• Monument signs located of SR 90 near the town limits

Work will be done Mondays through Thursdays during daytime hours, but the lane restriction will remain in place around the clock until early August. The project is expected to be completed in mid-October.

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
