Detours suggested while city’s work zones require lane restrictions

PHOENIX – While city of Tempe construction work is restricting lanes along Rural Road at US 60, drivers can consider using other nearby US 60 exits.

Motorists also can exit US 60 at Mill Avenue or McClintock Drive while city work zones on Rural Road are in place around the clock, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Rural Road is narrowed to one lane in both directions approaching US 60. As a result, the US 60 off-ramps at Rural Road are narrowed from three to two lanes.

The city’s work along Rural Road is scheduled to be completed by early 2024.
