CHINO VALLEY — Motorists traveling along State Route 89 in Chino Valley need to be aware of a traffic shift that will occur on Tuesday, May 26 as the Arizona Department of Transportation continues constructing the new roundabout at the intersection at Road 4 North.

Traffic will be shifted from the east side to the west side of SR 89 at Road 4 North in Chino Valley and the new configuration will be in place for the next three months.

The work zone will be clearly marked by temporary barricades and signage. ADOT advises drivers to be aware of the new alignment, allow additional travel time to reach their destinations and be alert for construction equipment and personnel. Weather can affect a project schedule.

This $2.1 million project consists of a new roundabout at the intersection of SR 89 and Road 4 North between mileposts 330-331. 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.
