UPDATE: I-10 paving work east of Tucson

Eastbound Interstate 10 on and off –ramps at Empirita Road (Exit 292) closed from 10 p.m. Thursday (Jan. 21) to 3 a.m. Friday (Jan. 22).

Motorists should allow for additional travel time during the paving operations.

The work is part of a $15.1 million project to repave approximately 17 miles of I-10 between Tucson and Benson and replace westbound I-10 bridge at Davidson Canyon. Paving operations on eastbound I-10 are expected to continue for approximately one month. The bridge replacement project is scheduled for completion in June 2016.

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