Segments of State Routes 80 and 90 in Cochise County to be restriped starting next week

 

Segments of State Routes 80 and 90 in Cochise County to be restriped starting next week   Intermittent restrictions near Sierra Vista and Tombstone will create brief delays for motorists   The Arizona Department of Transportation will restripe segments of State Route 90 in Sierra Vista and State Route 80 near Tombstone starting next week to complete a repaving project in those areas. The striping work will begin Monday, Sept. 24 and continue daily through Wednesday, Oct. 3, excluding the weekend. Daily hours of operation will be 7 a.m. until 5 p.m.     Motorists traveling on the two state highways can expect brief delays while ADOT crews place final pavement striping in the following areas:   State Route 90 - north of Sierra Vista and includes Huachuca City. The project area's western boundary is approximately a half-mile west of the intersection with Railroad Drive and the eastern boundary is the traffic signal at Buffalo Soldier Trail.   State Route 80 - west of Tombstone. The project area extends from approximately four miles west of the junction with State Route 82 and continues to the western edge of the City of Tombstone.   In both areas, a striping machine will move slowly through the project area applying the new paint with a Department of Public Safety patrol vehicle trailing behind. Speeds will be reduced approaching the work area.   Motorists on SR 80 can expect longer delays because the work will be in a two-lane segment of highway. The work on SR 90 is in a four-lane segment so motorists will be able to pass around the crews using the additional lane during work hours.   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.
