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.
