DOWNTOWN TRAFFIC ALERT - AUGUST 1, 2024: Via the City of Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM): On Monday, August 12, 2024, Granite Construction, under contract with DTM, is scheduled to begin this project between Alameda Street and Pennington Street. The work will begin with lowering manhole and water valve covers. Crews will then begin milling (removing) the top layer of asphalt followed by paving and construction of the Stone Avenue two-way protected bike lane extension. Work is scheduled to take place Monday through Friday from about 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, with possible night and weekend work. A full closure of Stone Avenue during weeknights may be in place as needed during this project. One lane of travel will be maintained, except for when a full closure is needed during weeknights. Parking will be restricted in this area. ADA and sidewalk access will be maintained during this work.

The segment of this project, between Alameda Street and Pennington Street, is anticipated to be completed by mid-September 2024. Following this work, crews will begin working on the southern portion of the project between Pennington Street and Ochoa Street. This completed bike lane will connect the existing segment beginning at Toole Avenue/Franklin Street to Ochoa Street. Stone Avenue will become a two-lane roadway between Alameda Street and Broadway. Also, the project includes the milling and repaving of Stone Avenue from First Street to Toole Avenue/Franklin Street and Alameda Street to Broadway.
