The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for lane restrictions on State Route 87 from just south of the State Route 260 junction to Clints Well (Lake Mary Road) beginning Thursday, Sept. 21, through the end of October.
Drivers should allow extra travel time while the following daytime restrictions are in place from 3 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, and 6 a.m. to noon on Fridays:
- SR 87 will be narrowed to one lane only with alternating north- and southbound travel between mileposts 277 – 291.
- On-site flaggers and a pilot car will guide drivers through the work zone.
- Expect delays entering and exiting from forest roads.
- A 10-foot vehicle width restriction will be in place Mondays through Thursdays. Wide loads can be accommodated on Fridays.
- The speed limit will be reduced in the work zone.
Crews will return in spring 2024 to complete final, permanent striping of the roadway.
This project is part of a $90.5 million dollar allocation for highway pavement repairs initiated after a record amount of snow and rain this past winter that created ideal conditions for worn sections of pavement and potholes to form.
