Blasting resumes following holiday weekend

Road closure set for Wednesday at 2 p.m.

PRESCOTT – Following the holiday weekend, work will resume to widen Arizona SR 260 15 miles east of Payson. The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) will close a two-mile segment of the highway for 45 minutes beginning at 2 p.m. on Wednesday (Sept. 8).

Eastbound traffic will be stopped at milepost 265 and westbound traffic will be stopped at milepost 267. The roadway will be closed while workers blast and clear material to provide room to widen the highway.

ADOT advises drivers to plan ahead to drive through the work zone before 2 p.m. or after 3 p.m. to avoid delays.

Information regarding the project is available on the toll-free project hotline at 1-877-521-1118. Weekly construction e-updates are available at prescottdistrictupdates@azdot.gov.

As always, drivers are reminded to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule. To stay up-to-date with the latest highway conditions around the state, visit the ADOT Traveler Information Center at www.az511.gov or call 5-1-1.
