The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers lane restrictions on US 70, between Reay Lane and Eighth Street (mileposts 335.6-340), continue daily from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., as crews continue ADA ramp work.

  • Motorists should plan for rolling lane restrictions as crews work in multiple sections each day throughout the project area.
  • The speed limit will be reduced to 35 mph in the work zone.

Drivers should allow extra travel time, use caution, be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.
