Heads up, Pima County drivers: Roadwork is on the horizon that may put a dent in your usual commute. Starting Monday, July 29, through Thursday, August 15, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., expect some delays and detours as the Pima County Department of Transportation rolls out its milling and paving efforts, as reported by Pima County. This is all part of the Road Pavement Repair and Preservation Program aimed at keeping county roads in top shape.
Significant stretches of road are slotted for this face-lift. Affected areas include Ocotillo Ranch Road from Mission Road to Avenida Haley and several connecting streets like Calle Quatro and Avenida Red Roan. With traffic control being set, along with repaving and pavement marking, drivers navigating the construction zones should anticipate restricted turn movements, as per Pima County. Although minor delays and lane closures are a given, folks are advised to tread carefully through these zones and allow for a bit of extra travel time to play it safe.
Keep in mind that if Mother Nature decides to show her might or if machinery goes on the fritz, there could be a shakeup to the scheduled services. Nonetheless, Pima County has committed a hefty $24 million for the 2024/2025 Fiscal Year to keep their roads in prime condition through the Road Pavement Repair and Preservation Program. For the curious and the affected, more details on the program and scheduled projects can be found by visiting Pima County’s official website.
For those who need a deeper dive into the project details or require language assistance, Pima County has made sure that help is just a call away. You can ring them at 520-724-6410, and for Spanish speakers, Melissa Cancio is your go-to at the same number.
