Drivers should anticipate delays and allow extra time, or adjust travel to avoid closures and restrictions. ADOT appreciates your patience as we construct improvements on SR 85.
While ADOT and its construction contractors strive to inform the public about planned freeway restrictions, during any complex construction project, there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur.
During SR 85 construction, plan ahead for unexpected restrictions - and remember to slow down in the work zone and follow all posted signs and flagger instructions.
