I-10

Things are looking pretty bright for our project to install LED lighting in the Deck Park Tunnel - pun intended.

PHOENIX – Drivers southeast of downtown Tucson will see a major step forward in an interchange reconstruction project next week as crews pour the concrete bridge deck on the new Houghton Road structure at Interstate 10.

The concrete work on the bridge comes as the Arizona Department of Transportation reaches the halfway point of a $24.4 million project to rebuild the interchange.

While drivers have experienced several temporary ramp and lane shifts during the project, the concrete pour will allow drivers to see the bridge’s final driving surface come into view.

PHOENIX – Motorists on both directions of Interstate 10 to the west of Willcox should expect a short detour the weekend of May 7-10 for a bridge deck replacement project, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. 

Both directions of I-10 will close at Exit 336, which will require drivers to detour onto the exit and entrance ramps, from 6 p.m. Friday, May 7 to 6 a.m. Monday, May 10. 

PHOENIX – Motorists east of downtown Tucson should plan for a traffic switch on the north side of the Interstate 10/Houghton Road interchange overnight Monday, May 3, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

Today we look back on an integral piece of interstate infrastructure.

PHOENIX – A bridge over Interstate 10 west of Willcox will close Monday, April 5, as part of an Arizona Department of Transportation project to replace the bridge deck.

The bridge at Exit 336, which connects Haskell Avenue to the south of I-10 and Taylor Road to the north of the Interstate, will remain closed until fall.

Through the $2.5 million project, the eastbound I-10 exit ramp to Haskell Avenue will remain open to allow vehicles to enter Willcox from the west.

The first-of-its-kind dust detection and warning system installed by the Arizona Department of Transportation has been named one of the “Infrastructure Gamechangers” by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).

PHOENIX – Two ramps on the east side of the Interstate 10/Houghton Road interchange in Tucson have reopened, restoring full access to drivers as the Arizona Department of Transportation makes progress on a project to rebuild the interchange.

Motorists are now able to use the eastbound on-ramp from Houghton Road to I-10 and the westbound exit ramp from I-10 to Houghton Road. The ramps closed in late August for reconstruction.

PHOENIX – Drivers heading from Marana toward downtown Tucson will begin using the new eastbound lanes of Interstate 10 at Ruthrauff Road this weekend.

The traffic shift is expected to be completed the morning of Saturday, Nov. 14.

Though 2020 had a 'nonsoon,' it did give us a good trial for our innovative new dust detection and warning system on Interstate 10 between Phoenix and Tucson.
