With more projects continuing, ADOT has completed critical pavement repairs on more than 300 miles of state highways since this effort began in June.
These projects, detailed at azdot.gov/PavingRepairs, are in areas where pavement was already stressed in recent years due to age and use. Snow and rain during the record-setting winter of 2022-2023 created ideal conditions for potholes and other road surface damage in these highway stretches.
Areas where repairs are complete include stretches of:
- Interstate 17 between Sunset Point and State Route 179 (mileposts 251-302)
- Interstate 40 between US 93 and Ash Fork (mileposts 72-146)
- Interstate 10 between US 191 and the New Mexico line (mileposts 350-391)
- US 60 between Wickenburg and SR 74 (mileposts 110-120)
- SR 260 between Rim Road and Heber (282-302)
- SR 260 between Knottingham Lane in Pinetop-Lakeside and State Route 73 (mileposts 347-358)
These and other critical pavement repair projects consist of removing and replacing damaged surface pavement in locations within identified highway stretches.
Repair projects underway or planned before cold weather forces a stop until spring include State Route 87 between SR 260 and Clints Well (mileposts 277-291), US 93 between Legend Ranch Road in Golden Valley and Date Creek Ranch near Wickenburg (mileposts 59-178) and SR 87 between Mount Ord and Gold Creek Tank (mileposts 226-231).
We’ll have more to share when all projects undertaken since June are complete.
