The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for lane restrictions on State Route 85 between Elota Avenue (milepost 42) and milepost 60 from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. weekdays, beginning Monday, June 8, through spring 2027 as a new pavement rehabilitation project gets underway in Ajo and Why.

Motorists can expect the following restrictions:

• Flagging operations in the project area
• Rolling lane restrictions as crews work in multiple sections each day 
• A 12-foot vehicle width restriction 
• 25 mph speed limit 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.
