Texas Canyon rest area on westbound Interstate 10 to close later this week for repaving The Texas Canyon rest area on westbound Interstate 10, approximately 65 miles east of Tucson, will close for three days this week to allow the Arizona Department of Transportation to finish repaving the parking area and the entrance and exit ramps. The rest area, located midway between Willcox and Benson near milepost 321, will close at 6 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 19 and is scheduled to reopen at 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 21. During the closure, crews will remove and replace the surface asphalt in the parking areas and ramps and restripe the new surface. The nearest rest area east of Texas Canyon is at San Simon (Exit 388). Other facilities are available in Benson and Willcox. The rest area on eastbound I-10 in Texas Canyon will remain open. The work is part of a $4.2 million project to repave 14 miles of westbound I-10 between the east end of Texas Canyon and the east side of Benson. The work also includes constructing new bridge barriers at two locations, repairing guardrail and replacing several drainage culverts. The repaving work on westbound I-10 is scheduled to begin in late September. 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.
