Lane restrictions on Interstate 8 near Paloma Road scheduled next week

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan ahead for lane restrictions on Interstate 8 between Paloma and Painted Rock Dam roads beginning Monday, June 11, and remaining in place for six weeks.

Contractors are scheduled to begin pavement improvements; install new guardrail; work on the Painted Rock traffic interchange overpass; build up the roadway shoulder; and install new pavement markings. The work is part of a project to improve pavement on 10 miles of I-8 in Maricopa County.

The following restrictions will take place in the work zone 24 hours a day seven days a week beginning Monday, June 11, at 7 a.m. and ending Sunday, July 8.

  • I-8 will be narrowed to one lane in both directions between Paloma and Painted Rock Dam roads.
  • A 12-foot-vehicle width restriction will be in place. 

Drivers should allow extra travel time and plan for delays while construction is underway. Drivers are asked to use caution, obey posted speed limits and traffic control devices and use caution around construction personnel equipment.

The project is scheduled to be completed by spring 2019. Learn more on the project webpage www.azdot.gov/I8PavementImprovements
