The Arizona Department of Transportation has started a project to improve State Route 87 between Payson and Pine which has been funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Crews are working on safety improvements and resurfacing the roadway with rubberized asphalt. Roadway safety enhancements will include upgraded guardrails, widened shoulders, widened roadway for turn lanes, extended box culverts for improved drainage and improved signage. Work began in June and is expected to be complete by early 2010.
This project includes two different segments where work is being conducted. Segment 1 is located near Payson between mileposts (MP) 254.62 and 255.94 and segment 2 is located near Pine between MP 265.61 and 266.69.
Stay Informed Throughout Construction
ADOT strives to keep the public informed about construction projects, lanes restrictions, and closures. An electronic construction update is available for this project.
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), working together with the town of Payson, is planning a modern roundabout at State Route (SR) 87 and Airport Road.
ADOT is in the very early stages of design and has presented this information to the elected leaders in Payson and residents of Payson.
The final design won’t be complete until late 2008; environmental clearances will be done in late 2008; right of way acquisition will be complete in early 2009; with construction beginning in summer of 2009 and completed by fall of 2009. The town and ADOT are sharing the cost of the roundabout.
