• The speed limit will be reduced to 25 mph.
• A 14-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place on eastbound Battaglia Drive.

• A 10-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place on westbound Battaglia Drive. Oversize loads may be accommodated with advance notice. 

ADOT reminds drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, be prepared to make frequent stops and watch for construction personnel and equipment.

Schedules are subject to change due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances.

Drivers should expect the following restrictions from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. Mondays through Fridays:

• US 60 will be reduced to one lane only in 3-mile segments with alternating east- and westbound travel between SR 61 and Wildcat Creek (mileposts 353-369). 
• Drivers will be directed through the work zone by flaggers and a pilot car. 
• A 12-foot vehicle-width restriction will be in place.

• No work is planned for weekends or state holidays.

The restrictions are needed so crews can apply a chip seal pavement treatment to the roadway, which should be completed by mid-June.
