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.
