Pavement improvement project begins tomorrow on SR 264 east of Tuba City

The Arizona Department of Transportation will be improving the pavement on a 30-mile stretch of State Route 264 beginning Thursday (June 2) in northeast Arizona.

 The pavement improvement project will be two separate phases:

• First phase work will start on the SR 264 eastbound lane at milepost 340 and crews will work east toward milepost 359. Once the SR 264 eastbound lane is completed, crews will begin work on the SR 264 westbound lane at milepost 359 and work west toward milepost 340.

• Second phase work will start on the SR 264 eastbound lane at milepost 361 and crews will work east toward milepost 373. Once the SR 264 eastbound lane is completed, crews will begin work on the SR 264 westbound lane at milepost 373 and crews will work west toward milepost 361.

The pavement improvement project is anticipated to be completed in mid-August with work hours from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.Monday through Friday with some work occurring on Saturday.

 Drivers should use caution when entering the work zone and be prepared to stop at flagging stations for pilot cars to escort them through the work zone.

 *A 12-foot width restriction will be in place during the pavement improvement project.

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