Paving continues on Beeline south of AZ188

Headed to the Valley this weekend for a little R&R - or just a quick run to Trader Joe's and Costco?  Here are some things ADOT wants you to be aware of:

The Arizona Department of Transportation will continue paving State Route 87 Friday (Oct. 21) two miles south of the SR 87/SR 188 junction. The right lane of the northbound roadway will be closed from 4:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to provide a safe work zone.

The $1.4 million project to repave a four-mile segment of the highway includes the removal of a layer of the existing pavement and the application of a new layer of smooth, quiet rubberized asphalt. The project is scheduled to be completed in mid-November.

No major delays are expected, however, ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
