Construction to widen State Route 89 between Prescott and Chino Valley begins

Four-lane divided highway to improve travel times for drivers

PRESCOTT – The Arizona Department of Transportation will start a widening project this week on State Route 89 in an effort to improve travel times and enhance safety for motorists traveling between Chino Valley and Prescott.

Upon completion of the $17 million project, ADOT will expand the two-lane roadway to a four-lane divided highway along a five-mile segment of SR 89 (mileposts 320-325) between Road 4 South in Chino Valley and Deep Well Ranch Road in Prescott, north of the SR 89/SR 89A junction.

The new southbound roadway will be parallel to the existing highway between Prescott and Chino Valley and will include the construction of two roundabouts at Deep Well Ranch Road and Kalinich Avenue.

Project work hours are Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. and minimal impacts to the traveling public are expected as the majority of the work will not be performed on the existing roadway.

This project is expected to be completed by summer 2015.

ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

Delays of up to 15 minutes are expected between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Early next week traffic will be switched to the newly constructed (east side) of the Big Chino Bridge on State Route 89, north of Chino Valley.

Delays are expected of up to 15 minutes on Monday and Tuesday, March 17 and 18 between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. as crews prepare to open the east side of the bridge and remove the temporary signal that has been in place since October 2013.

During the traffic switch vehicles will be guided through the work zone by flaggers and law enforcement. Once the traffic switch is completed, crews will begin to repair the west side of the bridge which is expected to be complete by the end of April.

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.
