TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Pima County Transportation Department shared an update on its South Houghton Road widening project, as crews install infrastructure for storm water drainage and separate the road from bicycle lanes.

The project is adding lanes to a three-mile two-lane stretch of Houghton south of I-10. The section of road has also been prone to flooding in years past.

The Houghton Road project will provide a connection to the Julian Greenway Wash portion of the Chuck Huckleberry Loop.

The project is scheduled for completion by December 2022.
