Residents and commuters in Pima County ought to brace for ongoing disruptions as the waterline project spearheaded by Borderland Construction Company, Inc. is extended until Thursday, October 31, 2024. Those living or working near Portland Avenue, Seattle Avenue, and Spokane Avenue will need to plan around road closures and limited access, as construction takes place daily from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to Pima County's official newsroom.
Due to restrictions within the work area, the aforementioned roads will be inaccessible south of Avra Valley Road to Safford Street during active construction hours. Happening in the sequence listed, the job crossing each road is estimated to require up to two days for completion. Despite the inconvenience, the roads will reopen to vehicles when workers are off the clock. Residents near the restricted zones can access their properties from the south at the designated intersections.
Travelers through these parts are advised to seek alternative routes during the specified dates and work hours. The sequence of the construction, starting off with Portland Avenue and then moving eastward, is structured to minimize the duration of impact on any given roadway. Once the contractor wraps up with one road, they'll shift east until the entire gamut is complete.
If there are delays due to mechanical issues or bad weather, the construction timeline can be adjusted, reflecting the unpredictable nature of public works.
