Message boards and signs will advise drivers of restrictions. Law enforcement is on-site to help monitor speed and control traffic.
No work is scheduled on holidays or weekends. This project is scheduled to be completed in spring 2012.
ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
