TUCSON, Ariz (KGUN) — We're at the halfway point with work on both construction projects on Houghton Road: the stretch between Valencia and Mary Ann Cleveland Way and
our first Diverging Diamond Interchange at I-10.
The DDI is $24.4 M. project takes another turn tonight with overnight lane restrictions, so crews can pour the new bridge deck on the new six-lane Houghton Bridge over I-10.
Both directions of the freeway will close at 9:30 p.m. and won't reopen until 5:30 a.m. Tuesday. All traffic will exit and reenter I-10 at the Houghton exits and entrance ramps.
