ADOT crews to remove old temporary eastbound Interstate 10 exit at State Route 90 early next week Work will require right lane closures on eastbound I-10 approaching Exit 302 Motorists traveling east on Interstate 10 near Benson will encounter lane closures on Monday (May 21) and Tuesday (May 22) while the Arizona Department of Transportation removes pavement from a temporary detour onto State Route 90 that is no longer in use. The right lane of eastbound I-10 will be closed both days from 6 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. for one mile beginning a mile and a half west of the junction with SR 90. Motorists are asked to obey posted speed limits in the construction area and be prepared for the possibility of brief delays. Another temporary detour is now in use for the eastbound exit onto State Route 90 (Exit 302). Drivers exiting at that interchange will also encounter lane restriction on SR 90 immediately south of the interstate, where ADOT has begun work to widen that segment of highway. Eastbound traffic will be shifted to one westbound lane on SR 90 during the estimated three months needed to reconstruct the new eastbound lanes. The work is part of ADOT's on-going $27.6 million project to replace the I-10 overpass bridges at SR 90, realign a curving section of I-10 west of the interchange and make the improvements to SR 90. ADOT advises drivers to proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down, 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.
