Wrong way sign project to begin May 19 in southern Arizona
The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a safety project to upgrade wrong way signs and pavement markings on several interstate ramps in southern Arizona starting Wednesday, May 19.
The project will include ramps on the following routes:
- Interstate 8 in Pinal County (State Route 84 to I-10)
- I-10 in Pinal, Pima and Cochise counties (Sacaton Rest Area to the New Mexico border)
- I-19 in Pima and Santa Cruz counties (Tucson to Nogales)
Most work will be completed on ramp shoulders, but short delays or ramp closures are possible in some locations. Interstate traffic will not be affected by the project.
Work is scheduled to extend through early 2022.
The work is part of an on-going statewide initiative to install new, more visible wrong way signs along freeways to get the attention of drivers who go the wrong direction on off-ramps or in travel lanes.
The project, which is paid for with federal highway safety funds, includes more of the white pavement arrows pointing in the correct direction of travel along many of the freeway exit ramps where the new wrong way sign upgrades have been made.
Drivers should proceed with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors. For more information, please call the ADOT Bilingual Project Information Line at 855.712.8530 or go to azdot.gov/contact and select Projects from the drop-down menu.

State Route 366 (Swift Trail) repair project begins January 4, 2021
Motorists on State Route 366 (Swift Trail) near Safford between mileposts 118 and 140 should expect intermittent delays starting Monday, Jan. 4, while crews complete a roadway repair project.
Key elements of the project include:
- Removal of burned trees
- Repairs to the road surface in select locations
- Drainage repairs
- Box culvert replacements
- A chip seal on the paved portion of the highway
While work is underway, SR 366 will remain open (with typical seasonal restrictions). However, motorists should expect lane closures with delays of up to 30 minutes. Note: The contractor may work on two locations at a time, thus multiple 30 minute delays are possible. Signals or flaggers will be used to control traffic.
Crews expect to work primarily during weekdays, but some weekend work is possible. The work is scheduled to take up to two years.
The project is needed to complete repairs caused by the 2017 Frye Fire on Mount Graham.
Drivers should proceed with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.

Preliminary work on the west Willcox Interstate 10 bridge project begins March 23
Bridge over I-10 scheduled to close April 5
Preliminary work on an Interstate 10 bridge project at the west end of Willcox at Haskell Avenue and Taylor Road is scheduled to begin Tuesday, March 23.
Crews will begin mobilizing equipment and preparing the site for a bridge redecking project. Minor traffic delays are possible for the first two weeks of the project.
The bridge over I-10 is scheduled to close to all traffic on Monday, April 5.
The overall project is scheduled to be completed in three phases:
- Phase 1 from late March to mid-April - Mobilization and construction of a temporary traffic lane to facilitate the movement of eastbound I-10 traffic during scheduled weekend closures on I-10.
- Phase 2 from mid-April to late summer - Removal and replacement of the bridge deck
- Phase 3 from late summer to early autumn - Guardrail and pavement work and cleanup
Traffic Restrictions
The eastbound I-10 exit ramp to Haskell Avenue will remain open throughout the project to allow vehicles to enter Willcox from the west. The westbound I-10 entrance and exit ramps to and from Taylor Road are scheduled to remain open.
Starting in mid-April, for several weekends, I-10 will be diverted onto the exit ramps and then back onto the entrance ramps from 8 p.m. Fridays to 6 a.m. Mondays. The weekend closures will allow crews to safely remove and replace the existing bridge deck. Additional ramp restrictions may be required during weekend closures to safely move traffic.
Drivers should proceed with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
For more information, go to the project website.
Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.

ADOT, Willcox Study Downtown Freight Traffic Alternatives
Community survey underway to reduce impact of heavy truck traffic
WILLCOX – The Arizona Department of Transportation and the city of Willcox are studying several potential traffic circulation changes in the downtown area that would reduce the impact of freight traffic while improving safety.
The study includes a community survey that is being conducted through Tuesday, Aug. 31, allowing the public to share feedback on five options under consideration.
The study has already evaluated current and projected heavy truck traffic that flows between Interstate 10 and the industrial area on the southeast side of the city. Currently, the only way for heavy trucks to get between those areas is along State Route 186 through downtown Willcox, creating congestion and slowing the movement of freight.
The study includes several alternatives to move traffic more efficiently and safely while improving the quality of life. The improvement alternatives include:
- Constructing a small urban roundabout at the intersection of Haskell Avenue (Business 10) and Maley Street (SR 186), allowing large trucks to make turns over the roundabout while passenger vehicles would drive around the raised feature
- Reconfiguring the intersection of Haskell Avenue and Maley Street and by eliminating the left-turn lanes, allowing trucks to make wider turns without creating conflicts with oncoming traffic
- Removing heavy trucks from the intersection of Haskell Avenue ad Maley Street by reconstructing existing city streets as the new truck route along 2nd Avenue, Stewart Street, Railroad Avenue and Jesse Street
- Constructing a bypass roadway by extending 2nd Avenue and Rex Allen Drive to form a loop east of downtown, with an at-grade crossing at the railroad tracks
- Constructing a bypass roadway by extending 2nd Avenue and Rex Allen Drive to form a loop east of downtown, with a bridge carrying traffic above the railroad tracks
The study also includes the alternative of making no changes.
The public can find the community survey at azdot.gov/willcoxstudy. A paper version is available at the following locations during regular business hours:
- Willcox City Hall, 101 S. Railroad Ave. B
- Elsie S. Hogan Community Library, 100 N. Curtis Ave.
The survey is available in both English and Spanish. All comments must be received by Tuesday, August 31. Public input, along with engineering and cost considerations, will be used to select a preferred alternative, which will be evaluated further.
This analysis is in the study phase and no funding has been allocated for construction.
