Water pressure problems require closure of Interstate 10 rest areas in San Simon near New Mexico State Line The Interstate 10 rest areas at San Simon in eastern Cochise County are closed while Arizona Department of Transportation crews repair the water systems at the facilities. The water pressure problem, which affects the rest areas on both the eastbound and westbound sides of I-10, began Sunday morning and requires closure of the rest areas at least through Tuesday afternoon (Aug. 28). Motorists traveling in that area can use the truck stop off Exit 382 in San Simon as an alternative until the rest areas reopen. The Texas Canyon rest area on westbound I-10 also remains closed for improvements through the rest of this week. The eastbound Texas Canyon rest area is open and alternate facilities also can be found in Willcox and Benson.

Repaving of State Route 80 west of Tombstone begins Monday
The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin work next week to repave an eight-mile segment of State Route 80 west of Tombstone. The project will improve the roadways by providing motorists with a smoother driving surface and extend the life of the highway.
What to expect on SR 80:
Work on SR 80, scheduled to start on Monday, Aug. 20, will begin approximately four miles west of the junction with State Route 82 and continue east to the western edge of the city of Tombstone. Work will take place from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. on weekdays.
The project area, which includes the Customs and Border Protection checkpoint, encompasses eight miles of SR 80. Lane restrictions will require traffic in both directions to stop and allow construction crews to direct alternating traffic through the single open lane during work hours.
Delays of up to 20 minutes are expected and motorists are advised to plan ahead. This work is scheduled to be completed in late August 2012.
Final striping and marking will be done in late September 2012.
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.
