State Route 260: Rim Road to Gibson Road
Project Overview
The Arizona Department of Transportation in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration is improving the roadway along a 21-mile stretch of State Route 260 between Rim Road and Gibson Road (mileposts 282-304).
The $24.9 million project includes extending and improving drainage facilities, constructing a 5-foot shoulder on both sides of the roadway, guardrail improvements, spot pavement repairs and restriping of the roadway.
Construction is anticipated to last through summer 2025.

The project will occur within ADOT right-of-way. The purpose of this project is to improve roadway safety by increasing shoulder width of the existing roadway.
What to Expect
Traffic may be restricted to one lane only with alternating east- and westbound travel 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays and the contractor has an option to work 5 a.m. to noon on Fridays. As a result, motorists may experience traffic delays.
