The Arizona Department of Transportation will close lanes on Mariposa Road
in Nogales Sunday (Sept. 18) through Friday (Sept. 23). The closures will
provide a safe work zone as construction crews repave State Route 189
between the international border and Business Route 19 (Grand Avenue).
Pedestrians are urged to use the roadway shoulder on the opposite side of
the road.
Intermittent lane closures on eastbound and westbound Mariposa Road between
Target Range Road and Interstate 19 will occur nightly from 7 p.m. Sunday
(Sept. 18) to 6 a.m. Friday (Sept. 23).
Access to Interstate 19 from Mariposa Road will be available during the
closures.
As part of ADOT’s continued investment in highway improvements in Nogales,
this $3.2 million project includes removing a layer of the existing
pavement, applying a smooth new driving surface with rubberized asphalt,
replacing guardrail, constructing sidewalk ramps and sidewalk, placing new
pavement markers, and repaving the entrance and exit ramps at Interstate 19
and SR 189.
The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-October 2011.
The construction schedule is subject to change due to a variety of reasons,
including weather, material availability and mechanical difficulties.
Drivers are reminded to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow
down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
The Arizona Department of Transportation will remove barriers and restripe the lanes next week as it continues work on a project to make the drive along eastbound and westbound Interstate 10 from Kino Parkway to Valencia Road smoother.

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 will also repave all 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, Algernon Way and Valencia Road.
Begun in February of this year, the project is expected to be completed by late September.
