District 2 Supervisor Liz Archuleta — National Forest Week

“You have within you the strength, the patience,

and the passion to reach for stars to change the world.”

–Harriet Tubman

The week of July 13-19 is National Forest Week! Here are some ways you can get involved:

Watch and engage with a virtual event. From an interpretive chat in the El Yunque National Rainforest to a gourmet s’mores cook along, there are several livestreamed events to choose from!

The Arizona Department of Transportation advises drivers to plan for an extended closure of the Fourth Street bridge over Interstate 40 from 8 p.m. Friday, July 17, to 5 a.m. Monday, Aug. 3, as work continues on the bridge replacement project.

Pedestrians, bicyclists and emergency vehicles will have access across Fourth Street during the 17-day closure.

During the extended closure of Fourth Street, the following traffic restrictions on I-40 also will be in place:

Eastbound I-40 narrowed to one lane at Fourth Street

Westbound I-40 narrowed to one lane at Fourth Street

During the lane restrictions, east- and westbound I-40 traffic will be shifted to one side of the highway in a temporary configuration through the work zone. ADOT advises drivers to slow down and use caution around construction personnel and equipment while construction is underway.

Schedules are subject to change based on weather and other unforeseen factors.
