PIMA COUNTY, ARIZONA - Work to finalize the closure and repurposing of the Ina Road Landfill will begin May 23.
The area, located on the east bank of the Santa Cruz River south of Ina Road, was previously used as a landfill for construction debris.
Final closure of the landfill requires applying a 24-inch layer of soil over the area. Later, hydroseeding will be done to vegetate the area and prevent runoff.
The work will create some disruptions to the adjacent Chuck Huckelberry Loop during construction but will not cause closures. Ramps will be placed on the path to protect it from construction vehicles crossing the Loop on the north side of Cañada del Oro Wash where it meets the Santa Cruz River, an area south of Mike Jacob Sports Park, 6901 N. Casa Grande Highway.
Loop users are advised to be aware of construction activity and obey warning signs and flaggers during haul hours.
Dates: May 23 - Nov. 31, 2022
Work times: Mondays - Fridays, 2 - 10 p.m.
