Widening work on SR 90 set to begin

Posted: Updated:

BENSON (Tucson News Now) - Road crews will begin working on widening State Route 90 to seven lanes near the interchange with Interstate 10 in Benson on Monday, May 14.

The Arizona Department of Transportation will close the westbound lanes of SR 90 north of the traffic signal at Village Loop Drive at 7 a.m. Monday for a three-month period.  Traffic in both directions will be routed to use the current eastbound lanes to travel through the project area.

ADOT says crews will reconstruct the westbound lanes and construct a raised median between I-10 and Village Loop Drive. New storm drains and street lighting will also be included in the project.  Access to businesses east of the highway at St. Andrews Road will be available from Village Loop Drive.
