Railroad Crossing Replacement Requires SR79 Detour North of Florence


by: Heather Murphy

Required Detour will Add 15-20 Minutes Travel Time Temporarily

The Pinal County Public Works Department has been advised by the Copper Basin Railway that a track replacement and crossing repair project will require closure of State Route 79 between East Hunt Highway and Arizona Farms Road.  

Work is slated to begin July 20 and last for a few days.  Like any outdoor construction project, the timing can be affected by inclement weather.

A detour will take drivers off of State Route 79 and route traffic around the closure and back onto State Route 79.  The detour will require residents, visitors and commuters to add about 15 to 20 minutes travel time.  Access will be maintained via a dirt road detour for local traffic (for example, for residents of Florence Gardens) and for emergency responders only.

Pinal County was notified as an advisory.  This is NOT project initiated or managed by Pinal County.  The purpose in issuing this press release is to increase awareness and alert the public to the detour.  RoadSafe Traffic Systems is managing the project.  The contact phone number for RoadSafe is 602-243-1218.

Pinal County’s website www.pinalcountyaz.gov is packed with useful information for residents, visitors, businesses or people looking to start or relocate a business.  Please bookmark the site in your web browser.
