As part of ADOT's continued investment in I-10 improvements, this
project includes removing the existing top layer of pavement, repairing
the concrete pavement beneath the top layer, applying a new, smooth
driving surface with rubberized asphalt, installing new roadway markings
and reconstructing guardrails along this segment of the highway.
The project also includes repaving all the on and off ramps and the
roads directly beneath I-10 between Kino Parkway and Valencia Road. Ramp
and roadway repaving is scheduled for Kino Parkway/South Campbell
Avenue, South Country Club Road, Palo Verde Road, Irvington Road,
Alvernon Way and Valencia Road.
This project started in February 2011 and will be completed in late
summer. The construction schedule is subject to change due to a variety
of reasons, including weather, material availability and mechanical
difficulties. ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with
caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and
personnel.
