The Arizona Department of Transportation is nearing completion on a project to widen and reconstruct
Interstate 10 from INA to Ruthroff Roads in the northwest Tucson area, with all parts of the project
expected to open to traffic by mid-May. Crews are now tending to the final details of the $171 million
project that will improve traffic flow and safety. The work includes completing lane stripes for a fourth lane on
both directions of I-10, where overnight lane restrictions will soon end. And work is continuing
on the new Sunset Road interchange along with an extension of Sunset Road between I-10 and
River Road. Cruise are finalizing work on traffic signals, landscaping and painting the sunset
road overpass. The Sunset Road extension, a $35 million element of the project funded by Pima
County, creates a new connection to and from I-10 with new bridges over the Union Pacific Railroad
tracks and the Relito River. When complete, the overall I-10 project,
will widen the interstate from three to four lanes in each direction between Ina and Ruthroff
roads. Other project highlights include Reconstructing the Orange Grove Road Interchange,
which opened in February 2025 and features higher I10 bridges above Orange Grove Road to
allow for greater clearance. New interchange designs at Orange Grove and Sunset Roads,
which feature additional lanes on entrance and exit ramps to promote safety and reduce delays.
Replacing all nine bridges in the project area, including those over-case,
Canada del Or O Wash and Relito River.
Constructing an access path to the Chuck Huckleberry loop from Sunset Road.
Related work on lighting, landscaping and drainage.
The I-10 project is part of the Regional Transportation Authority's Roadway Improvement Plan,
managed by the Pima Association of Governments.
The project began in early 2023.
