Ina and I-10

This rendering shows the proposed new interchange project, which will close Ina Road at Interstate 10 for two years.

The Ina Road and I-10 traffic interchange in Marana will close Wednesday, and remain that way for the next 25 months, officials said.

Ina Road at I-10, including the east and westbound on and off-ramps at Ina, will close at 1 a.m. Wednesday. Scheduled to close at the same time is the westbound I-10 frontage road from the Orange Grove on-ramp to Cortaro Road, according to an Arizona Department of Transportation news release.

Ina Road east and west of I-10 will remain open during the 25-month closure, and ADOT will ensure that all business in the work zone are accessible throughout the project.

The closure is part of the $2.1 billion reconstruction project, designed to improve traffic flow in the area by widening I-10 and adding an extra lane in each direction, and widening Ina from Silverbell Road to Camino de la Cruz, the release said.

Several short-term closures related to the project are scheduled through next weekend:

  • The right lane of east- and westbound I-10 between Avra Valley and Sunset roads will be intermittently closed from 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 12, to 5 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 15, for overhead sign work.
  • Westbound I-10 between Sunset and Cortaro roads will be narrowed to one lane from 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 17, to 5 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 18, for striping.
  • Eastbound I-10 between Twin Peaks and Orange Grove roads will be narrowed to one lane from 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 18, to 5 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 19, for striping.
