Customs checkpoint on State Route 90 near Huachuca City to be expanded into two-lane operation
Additional lane intended to reduce wait times during peak traffic
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection checkpoint on northbound State Route 90 near Huachuca City will be reconstructed beginning in late October to create a two-lane operation designed to shorten wait times for motorists, according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
The project, which will be managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, will include paving two parallel lanes through the checkpoint and constructing a canopy structure for the safety and health of agents who staff the operation.
The current checkpoint uses a single lane and creates longer-than-desired waits for motorists at peak traffic times.
Work is scheduled to begin Monday (Oct. 24) and construction is expected to be complete within four months. The checkpoint will be closed throughout the construction period, but CBP patrols will continue in the area.
Northbound SR 90 will operate normally during reconstruction with barricades restricting access to the northbound shoulder where work will be conducted. Periodic lane closures may be needed and ADOT will provide information prior to those travel restrictions taking place.
ADOT advises motorists to proceed through the work zone with caution and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
ADOT works to inform the public about planned highway restrictions, but there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather can also affect a project schedule.
