TUCSON - The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a fourth round of pavement replacement work on the State Route 77/Oracle Road improvement project starting the week of Sunday, Oct, 16, with plans to resurface one mile of the highway in the coming weeks.

TUCSON – Paving work will begin Monday, April 18, as part of a six-month project to improve a 5.5-mile section of State Route 77/Oracle Road in Oro Valley, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

The work will span the highway between Calle Concordia and Tangerine roads, where crews will remove and replace worn pavement. The $11.8 million project includes other improvements such as repairing the Canyon De Oro bridge deck, adding bus bays, installing new fencing and traffic signs, along with adding new curb, gutter and sidewalks in select locations.

TUCSON - A two-year project began in April to pave and make other improvements to 10 miles of State Route 77, yet just 9 months into the project more than half the pavement has been replaced to make for a smoother ride.

As 2021 comes to a close, motorists are seeing a big change to this busy Tucson-area roadway where large segments of worn pavement have been replaced.

TUCSON – The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a second round of pavement replacement work on the State Route 77/Oracle Road improvement project starting the week of Sunday, Oct. 3, with plans to pave four miles of the highway by late 2021.

The work will take place on the southern end of the project, with paving operations on Miracle Mile between Interstate 10 and Oracle Road, along with Oracle Road from Miracle Mile to River Road.

TUCSON – The Arizona Department of Transportation has completed the first pavement replacement work on State Route 77/Oracle Road in the Tucson area, giving drivers a smoother driving surface on 1.5 miles of the highway.

The new pavement between Magee Road and Calle Concordia was installed one lane at a time during overnight hours to minimize daytime work and delays during the project. The work represents the most visible progress to date on the 2-year, $34 million project to improve 10 miles of SR 77.

TUCSON – After starting a two-year project this spring to improve a 10-mile section of State Route 77/Oracle Road in the Tucson area, the Arizona Department of Transportation will begin the first pavement replacement work the week of July 18.

The paving will begin on the northern section of the project, between Magee Road and Calle Concordia, with most of the work occurring overnight to minimize construction impacts of the $34 million project.

PHOENIX – Both lanes of traffic are now open on the State Route 77 bridge in Winkelman as the Arizona Department of Transportation nears completion on a $12.6 million project to replace the structure over the Gila River.

Work crews have removed temporary signals that had restricted traffic to a single lane since the bridge replacement project began in late 2019. That traffic configuration allowed ADOT to reconstruct half the bridge at a time without any extended full closures.

PHOENIX – A two-year project will begin in April to repave and make other improvements to a 10-mile section of State Route 77/Oracle Road between Tucson and Oracle Valley, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.

If you drove on SR 77 near Winkelman this month, there was no missing this important sign of progress.

We are nearly halfway there on our bridge replacement project on State Route 77 at Winkelman, and here's the proof.

Traffic is coming to a stop at times on State Route 77 in Winkelman, but it’s for a good reason: Things are moving forward on a project to replace the bridge over the Gila River.

You aren't imagining it - thanks to the installation of adaptive traffic signals along Oracle Road/State Route 77, drivers along this busy route into Tucson are saving a few minutes on each trip.

PHOENIX – As the widening project along US 60 between State Route 77 and 40th Street in Show Low wraps up for the winter, drivers should budget extra time early next week as crews stripe the road and put the traffic signal at US 60 and SR 77 in its final configuration.

Beginning Monday, Dec. 18, crews will put down final striping along US 60 in the project area. This must be done during the day, as overnight temperatures are too cold to apply the striping material. Striping work is expected to last a few days.

PHOENIX – An Arizona Department of Transportation project to improve the pavement along SR 77 in Snowflake will begin Monday, Aug. 21. Drivers should allow up to 20 extra minutes of travel time on weekdays with the work scheduled to end by this fall.

SR 77 will be narrowed to one lane in areas between mileposts 361 and 373 during daylight hours Mondays through Fridays. Flag crews will be in place to direct traffic one direction at a time through the work zone.

No work will take place from Friday, Sept. 1 through Monday, Sept. 4 for the Labor Day holiday weekend.

PHOENIX – With overhanging rock removed from a mountainside along State Route 77 south of Globe, the Arizona Department of Transportation is lifting all restrictions on a seven-mile stretch after six months of blasting and follow-up work.

The safety project, which began last fall, removed boulders and other rock formations from a limestone cliff near Dripping Springs, between mileposts 154 and 161 about 10 miles south of Globe.

Drivers experienced regularly scheduled weekday closures and lane restrictions to allow for this work, which ended Friday, June 2.
