TRAFFIC ALERT

TRAFFIC SIGNAL WORK
STONE AVENUE AND PRINCE ROAD INTERSECTION

On Thursday, October 13, 2022, crews from Next Generation Electrical, under contract with the City of Tucson Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM), are scheduled to rewire the traffic signals at the Stone Avenue and Prince Road intersection.

Coach Roland LaVetter passed away last week. He had a shelf full of honors coaching basketball at both Pueblo and Rincon-University High Schools. He was such a well-respected coach (a two-time state champion, by the way) that Lute Olson brought him in for his early basketball camps.  

He was also my coach and teacher. 

On Thursday, October 6, 2022, beginning at 6 a.m., Stone Avenue south of Sixth Street to Franklin Street/Toole Avenue, including the Stone Avenue underpass, is scheduled to close to all northbound and southbound travel. This closure will be in place while the contractor installs a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over Stone Avenue. Southbound travel into downtown is scheduled to reopen by 11 a.m. on Friday, October 7, and northbound travel is scheduled to reopen by 4 p.m. on Friday.
