Traffic shifts occurring next week on Highway 260 a milestone in the improvement project

Next week, ADOT will be switching traffic along two stretches of Highway 260 between Cottonwood and Camp Verde to new eastbound lanes and open three roundabouts. Officials say the $62 million project covering 9 miles of highway 260 west of I-17 remains on schedule. On Monday evening, both directions of traffic will shift from the existing roadway to the new eastbound lanes between Wilshire and Horseshoe Bend roads. The roundabouts at those intersections will also open. Between Horseshoe Bend and Cherry Creek roads, traffic will split, with westbound traffic using the existing roadway and eastbound traffic using the new eastbound lanes. Tuesday night, crews plan to open the new Cherry Creek Road roundabout to traffic and shut down the temporary traffic signal at Sharpshooter Way. Wednesday, crews will shift both directions of traffic to the new eastbound lanes between Cherry Creek Road and Roundabout #5. Drivers should slow down in the work zone and watch for signs and changes in traffic flow.
