Heads up to drivers planning to navigate the streets of Pima County this week: road work might slow your commute. According to a press release from Pima County, median curb repair work is set to take place on Valencia Road between Cardinal Avenue and Camino de la Tierra starting tomorrow, Aug. 21, and continuing through Thursday, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days.
Motorists should brace themselves for the familiar dance of intermittent lane closures and minor delays, spreading out across the specified hours. The Pima County Department of Transportation, partnering with Southern Arizona Paving, advises travelers in a statement, to approach the area with caution, and obey all traffic control devices. Running the gauntlet through construction zones, it's wise to allow for extra travel time, as informed by the Pima County announcement.
This segment of Valencia Road is just one factor in your travel plans, as the county notes that the construction schedule is subject to change. Issues such as mechanical failures or unpredictable weather could affect the timeline. Travelers who encounter unexpected construction signs where there was once a clear lane should prepare for possible delays and exercise patience.
Pima County is committed to providing support to those who need additional information or language assistance. If you have any questions, please call 520-724-6410. For Spanish-speaking individuals seeking information, Melissa Cancio is also available at this number.
