Lane Restrictions and Delays on SR 79 Throughout October

Commuters using SR 79 should anticipate a month of delays and disruptions beginning October 2nd, as the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) embarks on a major paving project on the roadway.

Project Overview

The project, which extends from milepost 138 to the US 60 junction, will involve intensive paving work designed to improve the overall quality and lifespan of the road surface. Residents and daily commuters are advised to prepare for daily lane restrictions and occasional ramp closures throughout the project's duration, which concludes on October 30th.

Navigating Through the Restrictions

Travelers should expect delays during this period and are encouraged to plan their trips accordingly. To mitigate the impact of these disruptions, commuters might consider leaving earlier for their destinations or using alternative routes, if possible. Clear signage and information on detours will be available, helping drivers navigate through the affected areas with ease.

Stay Informed

For those seeking more detailed information or with specific concerns about the upcoming restrictions and closures, ADOT remains the primary point of contact. The department assures that it will actively communicate any crucial updates and address concerns from the community as the project progresses.

While the paving project is essential for maintaining a safe and durable roadway, it will bring inevitable inconveniences to the daily lives of San Tan Valley's residents and visitors. By staying informed and planning ahead, commuters can minimize the stress and delays associated with the upcoming traffic restrictions on SR 79. For continuous and real-time updates on this and other traffic advisories, residents should keep an eye on santanvalley.com and reach out to ADOT as needed.
