TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Northbound Kolb Road at Speedway Boulevard is seeing traffic flow this morning for the first time since a water main break on Dec. 12, 2022.
Ward 2 Councilmember Paul Cunningham provided an update to the on-going project Thursday, saying the roadway was due to re-open to traffic Friday night. It opened Friday around 11 a.m., a few hours ahead of the schedule given by Cunningham.
The intersection first closed due to a 24-inch water main break, and ongoing assessment of the necessary repairs pushed the timeline back for a full-intersection re-opening several times over the course of the project.
The intersection re-opened incrementally over the near month-and-a-half roadway and water main repairs, impacting nearby businesses and commuters at the major Tucson intersection.
