Plan for possible delays during the closure of Mountain Road beginning July 13

Posted

Mountain Road in Mesa will be closed to through traffic between Williams Field and Pecos roads beginning July 13 through September for construction of a new bridge for the future State Route 24.

Crews plan to temporarily reopen 222nd Street to traffic to be used as a detour route for Mountain Road while it is closed, according to a release.

For a detour, motorists may use 222nd Street via Williams Field or Pecos roads for north-south travel.

ADOT urges motorists to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while the restrictions are in place.

The Arizona Department of Transportation, in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration, is constructing the Interim Phase II section of State Route 24, also referred to as Gateway Freeway. This section will include approximately five miles of new freeway extending from Ellsworth Road in Maricopa County to Ironwood Drive in Pinal County.

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.

For more information, call the ADOT Bilingual Project Information Line at 855-712-8530 or go to azdot.gov/contact and select Projects from the drop-down menu.

For real-time highway conditions statewide, visit ADOT’s Traveler Information Site at az511.gov, follow ADOT on Twitter (@ArizonaDOT) or call 511, except while driving.
