The streets of Pima County are set to get some much-needed attention, with road work scheduled to commence from December 9 through January 30, between the early hours of 6:00 A.M. until 6:00 P.M. County officials and their chosen contractor, Granite Construction Company, Inc., are diving into repairs as part of an ongoing preservation operation that affects daily transits and local byways.
Two specific stretches of artery - Camino de Oeste from Ajo Highway to Dakota Street, and Sunset Boulevard from Ajo Highway to Drexel Road - are the target of this endeavor. The work will encompass a range of necessary refurbishments, from the preliminary setting of traffic control, through utilitarian labors, to the milling followed by repaving, and a final touch of pavement marking. Commuters should be prepared for the presence of flaggers and pilot car operations, designated to channel, oversee, and regulate the flow of vehicles through the zones of construction. Due to the multiple facets of the workspace, some turns may find themselves within the project's parameters. Delays and lane closures are on the horizon, and motorists are advised to proceed with caution, heed all signs and directions, and allow extra time for their travels.
Pima County, guided by its Board of Supervisors and Transportation Department, has allocated a considerable $24 million fund for the Road Pavement Repair and Preservation Program in the fiscal year 2024/2025. The residents who wish to peer deeper into the program or skim through the list of forthcoming projects have been directed to the county's dedicated web page.
For those needing further details or assistance in languages other than English, the county has made accommodations. Queries can be made through contacting Pima County directly at 520-724-6410, for Spanish-speaking residents, they've earmarked Melissa Cancio as the point of contact, available at the same number.
