Overnight paving work resumes tonight and Wednesday, July 8 and 9 on State Route 89 between Prescott and Chino Valley, weather permitting. Work will take place on the south end of the project at the new Deep Well Ranch Road roundabout.

Motorists traveling on SR 89 for the next two nights between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. should allow extra travel time through the work zone. A detour will be in place redirecting traffic in both directions onto the new Deep Well Ranch Road to Ruger Road. Delays of up to 20 minutes at a time are expected. Flaggers and law enforcement will be present to guide motorists through the detour safely.

Beginning Saturday, July 11 through Tuesday, July 14 crews will place rubberized asphalt throughout the project between 4 a.m. and 7 p.m. each day. Access into the businesses along the northbound side of the project will be impacted for up to 20 minutes at a time and motorists will be stopped until the paving crew passes the driveway.

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.
