CHINO VALLEY – Traffic will be shifted onto the new temporary detour on the east side of State Route 89 at Road 4 North on Monday, Feb. 23. Drivers in both directions will be shifted onto the detour for the next six months as crews begin constructing the new roundabout at the intersection.

The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage. ADOT advises drivers to allow additional time to reach their destinations and to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

This $2.1 million project consists of a new roundabout at the intersection of SR 89 and Road 4 North between mileposts 330.48 and 330.78. Additional work includes removal and replacement of existing pavement, drainage improvements, new pavement markings and lighting.

This project is expected to be complete by August.
