I-10

PHOENIX – Over the weekend beginning the evening of Friday, Feb. 14, the Arizona Department of Transportation will close Ruthrauff Road at Interstate 10 for a two-year project to modernize the interchange serving a growing area of northwest Tucson.

ADOT will maintain access to area businesses throughout this project, which is creating a bridge carrying Ruthrauff Road over both I-10 and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks as well as widening the freeway.

As with other recent interchange projects, I-10 and Ruthrauff Road is getting a bridge carrying local traffic across the freeway and railroad tracks.  

PHOENIX – Though major restrictions aren’t set to begin until late winter or early spring, construction is set to begin Monday, Jan. 13, on an Arizona Department of Transportation project building a new interchange at Interstate 10 and Ruthrauff Road in northwest Tucson.

The completed interchange will reduce delays and improve safety on Ruthrauff Road and on El Camino del Cerro west of I-10 by carrying traffic over the freeway and Union Pacific Railroad tracks. The two-year, $129 million project also will widen the freeway.

PHOENIX – When blowing dust reduces visibility along 10 miles of Interstate 10 between Eloy and Picacho Peak, a detection and warning system developed by the Arizona Department of Transportation will quickly tell drivers to reduce speed for safety.

However you add it up, the addition of two new lanes to I-10 between Picacho and Eloy is good news.

A proposal to make improvements to Interstate 10 at the Broadway Curve – the most-heavily traveled stretch of freeway in Arizona – is now available for public review and comment.

Interstate 10 is now three lanes in each direction all the way between Tucson and Casa Grande thanks to investments by the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The drive between Phoenix and Tucson has gotten a little bit better, and another improvement is just weeks away.

That’s because an ADOT project has provided three lanes in each direction on a 4-mile section of Interstate 10 in Casa Grande, between Earley Road and Interstate 8. Part of that work widened the bridge over Jimmie Kerr Boulevard, which you can see in the Flickr album below.

PHOENIX – Drivers who use Interstate 10 in the Vail area during nighttime and early morning hours should budget extra travel time for approximately two weeks starting Wednesday, Aug. 21. Lane restrictions are needed for an Arizona Department of Transportation project to replace two bridge decks spanning the freeway southeast of Tucson.

Bridges at the State Route 83 and Colossal Cave/Wentworth Road interchanges will be upgraded during this project, which is scheduled for completion in fall 2020. Crews will begin with the SR 83 bridge and then move to Colossal Cave/Wentworth Road.

PHOENIX – A 4-mile stretch of Interstate 10 in Casa Grande now offers three lanes in each direction, moving the Arizona Department of Transportation ever closer to its goal of expanding to six-lane freeway all the way between Tucson and Phoenix.

The $43 million widening project nearing completion between Earley Road and Interstate 8 in Casa Grande also replaced the I-10 bridges over Jimmie Kerr Boulevard to accommodate three lanes in each direction.

There's a lot of logistics and planning that goes into large products, like the concrete deck pour for the expansion project of I-10 in Casa Grande.

With planned Interstate 17 flex lanes between Black Canyon City and Sunset Point set for construction starting by 2021, the state budget approved by state lawmakers and signed by Governor Doug Ducey provides the additional funding needed to also complete widening I-17 south of where the flex system will be built.

Piers and bridge abutments for the new interchanges at Pinnacle Peak and Happy Valley roads are currently going up, so take a look at some of the work happening right now.

Work to finish in June.

Drivers who normally would use the westbound Interstate 10 exit ramp at 43rd Avenue should plan on using an alternate route until late September.

Check out a slideshow and get an update on our progress finishing the final touches on a project that's improving mobility and safety in fast-growing Marana.

With the last girder placed for the South Mountain Freeway interchange on I-10 in west Phoenix, ride along as we soar above the work zone.

April 30 to May 9

Motorists traveling from the West Valley toward downtown Phoenix this weekend should allow extra travel time and plan ahead to avoid a closure of eastbound Interstate 10 (Papago Freeway) between 67th and 51st avenues due to construction of the Loop 202 South Mountain Freeway.

Two slideshows take you through and above projects widening I-10 to three lanes in each direction in Casa Grande and near Eloy.
