All work is scheduled to take place at night

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises Village of Oak Creek residents and area drivers to plan for overnight traffic restrictions along State Route 179 from Red Rock Ranger Station to Chapel Road as a pavement preservation project begins Wednesday evening, June 17. 

The following restrictions will take place from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. Sunday evenings through Friday mornings:

• SR 179 will be reduced to one lane only in the project area with alternating north- and
• southbound travel (mileposts 304-311)
• Flaggers and a pilot car will move drivers through the work zone
• There will be a 12-foot width restriction
• Restrictions will be lifted each morning after overnight work is complete.

Construction is anticipated to be complete this fall.

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to expect 24-hour lane restrictions on eastbound Interstate 40 near the Park Drive interchange (Exit 253) in Winslow on Monday, Sept. 21, as work begins to rehabilitate the Cemetery Wash Bridge deck.

Drivers should expect the following restrictions:

• Eastbound I-40 will be narrowed to one lane over the Cemetery Wash Bridge in Winslow located east of Exit 253.

• Drivers will need to slow down and merge over into the open lane when approaching the work zone and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while the restrictions are in place.

• Traffic delays due to slow-moving traffic should be expected while traveling through the work zone.

I-40 will continue to be narrowed to one lane in each direction at the Jackrabbit Road interchange (Exit 269) as bridge work continues at that location.

The project to rehabilitate I-40 bridges at both locations is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
