Nogales Port of Entry to I-10: Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Infrastructure Installation
Contents
Overview
The Arizona Department of Transportation is initiating a project to install and connect intelligent Transportation System (ITS) devices to the high-speed fiber optics along Interstate 19 starting at milepost 2, near the Nogales Port of Entry to just south of Interstate 10 (milepost 57) in Tucson. The purpose of this project is to connect the existing (ITS) devices and install new ITS devices at eleven interchanges listed below. This project will include Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) and CCTV cameras along the corridor.
The work includes installation of conduit and pull-box systems, fiber optic cables and other related work. Also, wrong-way detection (WWD) cameras will be installed at five of the interchange locations. Here is a list of the impacted traffic interchanges:
- Mariposa Road Traffic Interchange (TI)
- Ruby Road TI
- Rio Rico Road TI
- Peck Canyon Road TI
- Palo Parado Road TI
- Continental Road TI
- Esperanza Blvd. to Duval Mine Road
- Duval Mine Road TI
- Sahuarita Road TI
- Pima Mine Road TI
- San Xavier Road TI
