OVERNIGHT LANE RESTRICTIONS & RAMP CLOSURES

ADOT advises drivers to use caution and be prepared to slow down and merge safely when approaching and traveling through all work zones.

PROJECT UPDATES

  • The SR 51 pavement project has been expanded to include pavement repair work on McDowell, Thomas and Indian School roads beneath SR 51. This work will require crossroad lane restrictions and periodic freeway ramp closures through the end of 2026. Adding this work to the ongoing project allows ADOT to maximize construction efficiency and deliver broader safety and pavement improvements throughout the corridor. 
  • Drivers should also expect ongoing nightly lane restrictions on SR 51 for striping work through December 2026.
  • Please note, the current, uneven pavement conditions on SR 51 bridge decks are temporary and do NOT represent the finished freeway surface. Crews are making interim repairs to improve and maintain driving conditions until permanent improvements can be made. Due to seasonal temperature constraints, final resurfacing of the bridge decks will begin in January and is expected to require weekend closures through spring 2027.

ADOT appreciates your patience and understanding as crews continue work to deliver long-term safety and pavement improvements along the freeway over the next several months.
