Rim Country Update
State Route 87 Safety Improvements Payson to Pine and beyond.
STATE ROUTE 87 PAVING PINE TO THE RIM Paving continues north of Strawberry ADOT crews will be completing the initial paving of SR 87 in the vicinity of Strawberry. Temporary striping will be applied to the roadway surface and paving operations will continue north of Strawberry beginning the week of August 2. During paving operations, SR 87 will be reduced to one lane. Be prepared to stop and wait for a pilot car. A flagger will hold traffic until a pilot car can guide motorists safely through the route. In addition to pilot cars, message boards and temporary signage will be in place to assist in directing traffic. Construction will take place between the hours of 5 a.m. and 7 p.m. Crews will not be working Friday, Saturday or Sunday to limit impacts on traffic over the weekend. Delays can be expected of up to 30 minutes during peak travel hours. Please allow additional time to reach your destination. Speed limits are reduced and a width restriction of 10 feet is in place. Construction is scheduled be completed by the end of September 2010.

ADOT strives to keep the public informed about construction projects, lanes restrictions, and closures. This eUpdate is distributed periodically to help keep the Payson, Pine and Strawberry communities up to date and alert them of any expected construction activities that may affect traffic. Stay in touch with the project team by calling the project hotline at 1.877.521.1118 or
emailing PrescottDistrictUpdates@azdot.gov.
Please note: Changes to construction plans can happen frequently due to weather, equipment availability and personnel issues. We try to anticipate construction activities a week in advance but changes may occur. Intermittent lane closures, with short delays, may not always be known in advance.
