ADOT begins project to widen I-10 between Kino, Country Club

TUCSON – The Arizona Department of Transportation has kicked off a project to reconstruct and widen Interstate 10 between Kino Parkway and Country Club Road southeast of downtown Tucson.

The $600 million project is the largest highway construction project in Southern Arizona history and includes additional lanes on I-10 as well as new interchanges to reduce delays and enhance safety. The project will include:

• Widen I-10 to three lanes in each direction between Kino Parkway and Alvernon Way with auxiliary lanes
• Reconstruct the interchange at Kino Parkway
• Construct a new interchange Country Club Road that will provide access for traffic that currently uses the interchange at Palo Verde Road to allow for safer traffic movements to and from I-10
• Remove the existing interchange Palo Verde Road
• Construct a new westbound on-ramp at the Alvernon Way interchange
• Construct an I-10 undercrossing to connect the North and South Kino Sports Complex

Throughout the project, ADOT will maintain two lanes of travel in each direction on I-10 during peak travel times while maintaining access to businesses.

Initial project work will include overnight lane restrictions on I-10 between Park Avenue and Palo Verde Road from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Motorists can sign up for traffic alerts on the project website, I-10KinotoCountryClub.

Construction is expected to continue through 2028.

The project is the first to result from a study completed in 2020 that recommended how to best improve mobility along a roughly 10-mile stretch of I-10 from I-19 to Kolb Road. The study also identified an alignment for an extension of State Route 210 (Barraza Aviation Parkway) along Alvernon Way that will connect I-10 to downtown Tucson.
