I-10

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

Beginning Friday evening, Nov. 13, crews with the Arizona Department of Transportation will begin moving eastbound traffic to the new eastbound lanes as part of a nearly two-year project to rebuild the I-10/Ruthrauff Road interchange. 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.

PHOENIX – The Arizona Department of Transportation has selected an apparent preferred proposer for the Interstate 10 Broadway Curve Improvement Project, the state’s first major urban freeway reconstruction project.

The project to bring southern Arizona its first diverging diamond is moving fast, both to complete the work and to minimalize impact for drivers.

What do the Boy Scouts, goldmines and unexploded ordnance have in common?

You may have missed the actual work, but you won't have failed to notice that a concrete pour has happened on our project at I-10 and Ruthrauff.

We want to improve truck parking, but for that we need the input of the trucking community.

PHOENIX -- A survey of commercial vehicle drivers and dispatchers who travel Interstate 10 is underway to better understand the challenges and issues commercial drivers face when seeking parking at locations along the I-10 corridor. 

The I-10 Corridor Coalition, composed of the departments of transportation in California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, is conducting a survey through Oct. 30.

If you are driving on I-10 in Tucson, you see the major progress happening at the Ruthrauff interchange.

PHOENIX – An entirely new kind of traffic interchange for southern Arizona will start to take shape Monday, Aug. 24, as the Arizona Department of Transportation begins work on a project to improve access to Interstate 10 at Houghton Road.

Three ADOT projects from the last year have been recognized as some of the best in the industry in the 2020 America's Transportation Awards.

Interstate 10 drivers between Eloy and Picacho Peak should expect something very different this summer when storms hit: reduced speed limits, speed feedback signs and new overhead boards that display urgent safety messages.

PHOENIX – Visibility detectors. A weather radar system. Variable speed limit signs. Closed-circuit cameras. Overhead message boards.

These technologies clustered along 10 miles of Interstate 10 between Phoenix and Tucson are now operating as an innovative dust detection and warning system that’s ready to quickly tell drivers to slow down for safety when windblown dust reduces visibility.

We are four months into our project at I-10 and Ruthrauff. Check out this video of the work!

PHOENIX – Colossal Cave/Wentworth Road will close at Interstate 10 near Vail for about two months starting the night of Wednesday, May 27, for a bridge deck replacement project.

The Arizona Department of Transportation is taking advantage of lighter traffic during the current public health situation to complete the project ahead of schedule by replacing the entire deck at once rather than half at time. This approach allows major work on the project, which involves the bridge over eastbound I-10, to be completed in about two months rather than five months.

“Historians write the history, but balladeers bring it to life.”

So says Dolan Ellis, Arizona’s official state balladeer, who has spent more than 60 years bringing Arizona to life through song.

PHOENIX – Motorists who use Interstate 10 near Prince Road in northwest Tucson should plan for about one month of overnight lane restrictions because of a pavement maintenance project, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation. 

The project will begin Sunday, April 5, as crews seal concrete pavement joints on both directions of I-10. Work is scheduled Sundays through Thursdays, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

We recently set to work demolishing the old I-10 bridge over Ruthrauff Road in Tucson to build a better interchange. 

Check out photos showing crews demolishing the eastbound I-10 bridge at Ruthrauff Road in Tucson to make way for a new interchange.

PHOENIX – A day after crews moved eastbound Interstate 10 traffic off a bridge over Ruthrauff Road in northwest Tucson, crews have begun demolishing the structure as part of an Arizona Department of Transportation interchange replacement project.
