SR 77 Construction north of Tucson Jan. 8 - 17
State Route 77 (Oracle Road), north of Oro Valley to Catalina, will have the following traffic restrictions as the Arizona Department of Transportation continues to widen the SR 77 roadway between Tangerine Road and the Pinal County line.
Construction Activities
- One lane on SR 77, from Tangerine Road to Golder Ranch Drive, will be closed in both directions beginning mid-January for median work.
- The wildlife fence will be complete by mid-January.
Law enforcement will be monitoring this area as the speed limit has been reduced as follows:
- 40 mph from Tangerine Road to Rancho Vistoso Boulevard.
- 35 mph from Rancho Vistoso Boulevard to Eagle Crest Ranch Boulevard.
Drivers, cyclists and pedestrian are urged to obey traffic control, stay away from where crews are working and be cautious while traveling through the work zone, especially in the detour area as shoulders will be significantly restricted.
In addition, please be aware of the following traffic control:
- Two lanes of travel in each direction will remain open through the work zone during the day.
- Additional lane restrictions throughout the work boundaries during nighttime operations as needed.
- Cyclists will need to merge safely onto the traffic lane during shoulder closures.
ADOT works to inform the public about planned roadway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur due to weather or equipment issues.
Drivers are reminded to share the road, be cautious, and slow down while traveling through the work zone.
