SR 79 restrictions in place as work continues on Gila River Bridge in Florence

SR 79 restrictions in place as work continues on Gila River Bridge in Florence

State Route 79 will remain narrowed to one lane in both directions at the Gila River Bridge between mileposts 135 and 136 in Florence, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5, and possibly Thursday, Oct. 6, for bridge repair work. Traffic will be alternated to the open lane and guided through the work zone by crews and traffic devices. Some delays are possible.

Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction equipment and personnel.

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.
