Starting Tuesday, Oct. 29 through Friday, Nov. 1, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Pima County Department of Transportation in collaboration with contractor Borderland Construction will be conducting essential repairs to the corrugated metal pipe underneath Snyder Road. This effort is a precursor to milling and re-paving the worn asphalt on Snyder Road, stretching from Melpomene Way to Catalina Highway, and on Melpomene Way north of Catalina Highway, as per Pima County's official website.
The scope of this project dictates the closure of Snyder Road between Melpomene Way and Catalina Highway. Traffic that usually travels through Snyder Road will need to detour using Melpomene Way to Catalina Highway during construction hours. Motorists are advised to proceed with caution, adhere to the traffic control devices in the area, and should allow for extra time in their commute to accommodate potential delays.
According to an announcement on Pima County's official website, the construction schedule may shift if unexpected mechanical issues occur or if weather conditions prove unfavorable. Commuters and residents are urged to stay informed about these potential changes that might affect the planned course of roadwork.
In line with its commitment to improving transportation infrastructure, the Pima County Board of Supervisors and the Department of Transportation have dedicated a substantial budget of $24 million for the Road Pavement Repair and Preservation Program in Fiscal Year 2024/2025. This funding is earmarked for similar projects across the county, intending to enhance the safety and usability of local roads. For those interested in learning more about the program or other scheduled projects, information is available on the Road Pavement Repair & Preservation Program website.
Finally, Pima County offers additional information and language assistance to those who require it. You can contact them directly at 520-724-6410. For Spanish-speaking residents, Melissa Cancio is available for assistance and can be reached at the same number, ensuring language barriers do not prevent access to critical information about these impactful local developments.
