Traffic shift scheduled tomorrow on SR 89 at Perkinsville in Chino Valley, weather permitting

Crews are scheduled to move traffic tomorrow (May 18) on State Route 89 at Perkinsville Road back to the west side of the highway (weather permitting) in order to continue building the new roundabout.

Minor delays are expected between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. as crews restripe the roadway and adjust the traffic control. Drivers will be in the new configuration for approximately four weeks.

Drivers may have minimal impacts during work hours and ADOT advises drivers to allow additional time to reach their destinations and to proceed through the work zone with caution, comply with the reduced speed limit, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.

This $1.5 million project consists of a new roundabout at the intersection of SR 89 and Perkinsville Road between mileposts 328 and 329. Additional work includes removal and replacement of existing pavement, drainage improvements, new pavement markings and lighting.

This project is expected to be complete by September.
