• closed around the clock between Ina Road and Cortaro Road through the end of the year for reconstruction

• intermittent daily lane restrictions, north of Orange Grove and south of Ina Road, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through early September; one lane of travel will be available at all times

• The eastbound I-10 frontage road will have the following restrictions:

• reduced to one lane daily, south of Ina Road, beginning Aug. 22 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. through early September for utility work.

• intermittent daily lane restrictions, south of Starcommerce Way, during the month of August from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for utility work

• reduced to one lane around the clock, north of Starcommerce Way, through the fall to accommodate construction of the new frontage road

• Access to all businesses along the eastbound frontage road will be maintained.

• Interstate 10 and all ramps remain open in both directions during the work.

• Traffic control signs will guide drivers through the work zone.

Ina Road

• Eastbound Ina Road from the Union Pacific Railroad to Camino Martin will have nightly intermittent lane restrictions from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Monday (Aug. 22) and Wednesday (Aug. 24) for striping and setting temporary concrete barrier for work zone protection.

• Ina Road will have left-turn lane restrictions at Camino de Oeste (in both directions) and at Camino de la Cruz (from eastbound Ina Road only) around the clock beginning Tuesday (Aug. 23) for approximately three months for utility work.

Massingale Road

• Massingale Road is closed around the clock at the westbound I-10 frontage road for the reconstruction of the frontage road.

• Drivers may use Camino de Oeste as an alternate route.

The reconstruction project to fully reconstruct the interchange will improve traffic operations on I-10 and on the Ina Road traffic interchange. The project consists of widening I-10 to accommodate an additional lane in each direction and Ina Road from Silverbell Road to Camino de la Cruz.

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.

Managed by ADOT, this project is funded by the Regional Transportation Authority of Pima County. The voter-approved, $2.1 billion RTA plan will be implemented through 2026. Details about the full plan are available at www.RTAmobility.com.
