Get ready for more I-10 construction in 2025! This area really needs it though.

*Contractor set for I-10 reconstruction southeast of downtown Tucson*

ADOT is preparing to move forward with a project in 2025 that will reconstruct and widen I-10 between Kino Pkwy and Country Club Rd southeast of downtown Tucson.

On Friday, Aug. 16, the State Transportation Board awarded the design-build project to Sundt-Jacobs. At $600 million, it will be the largest highway construction project in southern Arizona history.

The project will include:

- Widening I-10 to three lanes in each direction between Kino Pkwy and Alvernon Way, and to four lanes in each direction west of Kino Pkwy.
- Reconstructing the interchange at Kino Parkway.
- Removing the existing interchange Palo Verde Rd.
- Constructing a new interchange Country Club Rd that will provide access for traffic that currently uses the interchange at Palo Verde Rd to allow for safer traffic movements to and from I-10.
- Constructing a new westbound on-ramp at the Alvernon Way interchange.
- Constructing an I-10 undercrossing to connect the North and South Kino Sports Complex.

Construction is expected to begin in mid-2025 and continue through 2028.

The project will be 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 Rd. The study also identified an alignment for an extension of SR 210 (Barraza-Aviation Pkwy) along Alvernon Way that will connect I-10 to downtown Tucson.

ADOT is planning to share more detailed design plans for the corridor and provide an opportunity for the public to speak with members of the design team at a community open house event in early 2025.
