Interchange will open in a new lane configuration the morning of Wednesday, May 26
Portions of the Interstate 10/Cortaro Road interchange in Tucson are scheduled to close overnight Monday, May 24, and Tuesday, May 25, for pavement and striping improvements.
Work is scheduled each night between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m.
During these hours, the I-10 exit ramps to Cortaro Road will close, and Cortaro Road will close to all traffic beneath I-10. To cross I-10, all motorists will need to use an alternate route such as Twin Peaks or Ina roads.
On Monday night (May 24), all traffic on westbound Cortaro Road will be directed to the westbound I-10 frontage road/on-ramp, and all traffic on eastbound Cortaro Road will be directed to the eastbound I-10 frontage road/on-ramp.

Starting the morning of Wednesday, May 26, the westbound Cortaro Road traffic lanes near the interchange will open in a new configuration, as the shared through-left movement under I-10 will be separated. The new lane configuration will allow for improved traffic signal operations.
The paving and striping work is being coordinated with pavement preservation work being completed by the town of Marana.
Drivers should proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for construction personnel and equipment.
