The work is part of ADOT's $3.4 million project for continued improvements on I-10 that includes removing the existing top layer of pavement, repairing the concrete pavement beneath the top layer, applying a new, smooth driving surface with rubberized asphalt, installing new roadway markings and reconstructing guardrails along this segment of the highway.

State Route 79 between Oracle Junction and Florence

The Arizona Department of Transportation will be improving 17 miles between mileposts 111 and 128.

The project will include a chip seal coat to improve asphalt conditions and restriping the roadway. Work is expected to last approximately two months, beginning Tuesday, September 4.

During the project, drivers can expect lane restrictions and reduced speed limits through the project corridor. Pilot cars will be used when the roadway is narrowed to one lane. Drivers are reminded to slow down, proceed through the work zone with caution and be alert for construction equipment and personnel. Delays are possible; please plan accordingly.
