Roadworks beginning today on I-10 and US 95

Construction crews will continue paving along Interstate 10 west of Phoenix at 7 p.m. Sunday (May 13). Motorists traveling between California and Phoenix should plan ahead and expect delays during work hours. Overnight work hours will be from 7 p.m. to noon the following day.

Between Sunday (May 13) and Sunday (May 20), Interstate 10 will be narrowed to one lane for approximately two miles between mileposts 52 and 63 between 7 p.m. and noon the next day for paving. Speed limit will be reduced to 45 mph in the work zone. Message boards and signs will advise drivers of restrictions and law enforcement officers will be on-site to enforce speed limits and control traffic.

This project is scheduled to be completed by July 2012.

In addition, the Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a $4.5 million project to widen and improve US 95 south of Quartzsite beginning Friday (May 11).

The US 95 roadway improvement project will consist of repaving an eight-mile stretch of roadway approximately 15 miles south of Quartzsite between mileposts 96-104. In addition, ADOT will build a northbound left-turn lane at milepost 82 (Cibola Lake Road) and a southbound right-turn lane at milepost 89 (Microwave Telephone Road).
