I-10 bridge work beginning Thursday to cause delays for Tucson motorists

Motorists traveling along Interstate 10 at Wilmot Road in Tucson should expect delays Thursday night for construction work, officials say.

Crews will be working overnight from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the new bridge.

According to the Arizona Department of Transportation:

• On Thursday, Oct. 25, motorists on both directions of I-10 should expect lane closures.

• From the evening of Sunday, Oct. 28, through early Wednesday, Oct. 31, the left lane of eastbound I-10 will be closed.

"The project to replace and repave the bridge deck will be complete by the time we’re trick-or-treating next week," said Tom Herrmann, an Arizona Department of Transportation spokesman.

He said the bridge work is a month ahead of schedule and benefits drivers by not sending them on the off-ramp and on-ramp at Wilmot Road.

When work is complete, traffic will use the permanent westbound I-10 bridge deck, an ADOT news release said.

Drivers should slow down and be aware of construction crews and equipment.
