saw this on an ADOT update this week. Sounds like it will be the same situation we faced when going to San Carlos lake when they were doing work on San Carlos river bridge with a traffic light controlling a one way road (at least during the day :dontknow:)
Drainage improvement work starting on SR 188
Drivers should expect a lane closure and reduced speed limits
The Arizona Department of Transportation will begin a project on Monday, Nov. 4 to construct two new concrete box culverts under State Route 188, between mileposts 254 and 257, east of Punkin Center by Roosevelt Lake.
This $984,000 project, which is scheduled for completion in spring 2014, will include the construction of two new concrete box culverts, removing existing pipes, and pavement and guardrail improvements.
Work hours will be 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. During construction there will be a lane closure and a traffic signal will be used to regulate traffic through the work area one direction at a time. Motorists will experience short delays as the signal transitions through its cycle.
Drivers are advised to adhere to the reduced speed limit and proceed through the work zone with caution and be alert for construction equipment and personnel.
For more information about this project, please call the project hotline at 1.855.712.8530 or email Projects@azdot.gov.

Great - just when I'm about ready to get back in the game after too many freakin' weekends filled with house remodeling. Thanks for the info Bruce...
I guess it will take a trip up there to figure out if it will be two lane and no stop light early morning or fri,sat,sunday or if that stupid traffic light will be there with single lane 24/7. Pain if I am heading into hunt at 0 dark 30 and have to sit there with no traffic on the road and have to wait for the light to change on a 3 mile single lane road :angry4: Art lives over that way so maybe he can let us know how screwed up it is :dontknow:
I'm betting it's gonna be a single lane w/ stop light that has a 10 minute red light cycle :sleepy:
I'm on it and will keep you posted...........Art
thx Art
Hey Art,
has ADOT started the construction yet?
Nothing yet. I'll post as soon as I hear something. I'm pre-fishing tomorrow for Saturday's high school tournament and Jeff goes to work on the south end of the lake everyday so we'll know right away.......Art
typical ADOT hurry up and wait
thanks
Saw the signs for the first time on the way to the lake this morning. They are at mile marker 254 !/2 south of A+ road and mile marker 252. The sign reads" traffic signal ahead from 11/13/13 until 3/30/14". .........Done my duty......Art
thx Art
Hey Art, how long of wait is it to get through that construction area? :dontknow:
So far from a few seconds for the shortest and three or four minutes for the longest. No big deal. Happy Thanksgiving ACA.......Art
