ADOT set to start project to widen I-10 in Casa Grande
The Arizona Department of Transportation crews will begin work to widen 1-10 from just south of Earley Road to Interstate 8 (mileposts 196-200) in Casa Grande. The 36.6 million project is scheduled for completion by summer 2019.
The construction is scheduled to begin next week and will add one lane in each direction adjacent to the median, with a concrete barrier separating directions of travel and will create new bridges over Jimmie Kerr Boulevard.
It will also include auxiliary lanes in both directions between I-8 and Jimmie Kerr Boulevard providing a safer alternative to the existing ramps.
Ames and Combs construction companies will perform the work.
Although crews will be working near travel lanes and the project isn’t expected to increase congestion in the area.
Lane restrictions are expected to take place at night, leaving two lanes open to traffic in both directions during heavy travel times. The Eloy widening project also is expected to cause minimal disruption for drivers because the new I-10 lanes and SR 87 interchanges are being built east of the current freeway alignment.
