Drivers should allow extra travel time for pavement-improvement work

A seven-mile stretch of State Route 347 south of Interstate 10 will be narrowed to one lane in each direction on Saturday, Oct. 8, for pavement work.  The Arizona Department of Transportation recommends drivers allow extra travel time and use caution when approaching and traveling through the work zone.  The lane restrictions are scheduled as follows: State Route 347 narrowed to one lane in each direction in an area between Riggs and Casa Blanca roads from 5 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, for pavement improvements. Similar work and restrictions also are scheduled in the same area on Saturday, Oct. 15. ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but it’s possible that unscheduled closures or restrictions might occur because of weather or other factors. For the latest highway conditions around the state, visit the ADOT Traveler Information Center at www.az511.gov or call 511, except while driving.
