The contractor is currently constructing the underpass beneath the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR) west of Stone Avenue.

The shoring operation is complete and UPRR trains have been shifted to the temporary shoefly where they will remain while the contractor begins excavation for the first half of the underpass.

All 48 of the drilled shafts for the underpass have been completed and the contractor is installing the UPRR longline fiber beneath the underpass structure. Once the longline fiber installation is complete, the contractor will begin constructing the underpass bridge abutments.

On Monday, February 27, beginning at 7 a.m. crews are scheduled to convert the traffic signal heads at the intersection of Broadway and Aviation Parkway/Maclovio Barraza Parkway to include flashing yellow arrows.

During the work, the traffic signals will not be in operation. In addition, lane restrictions will be in place at the intersection for all travel directions. This work is scheduled to be complete by 5 p.m. the same day.

Law enforcement officers will be on site to direct travel through the intersection until the work is complete. The traveling public can expect delays when driving in the work area. Please obey all traffic control signs and watch for law enforcement officers and construction personnel in the area.

This schedule is subject to change due to inclement weather or unforeseen circumstances.

The RTA collects a half-cent excise (sales) tax from its special taxing district within Pima County to fund its 20-year regional transportation plan. The plan and tax were approved by voters in May 2006. The Downtown Links Improvement Project is part of the RTA plan and is managed by the City of Tucson.
