FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESCOTT, AZ (October 7, 2026) – The City of Prescott Streets Division is scheduled to perform pavement repairs to address areas of excessive wear along sections of Ruth Street, between Whipple Street and Whetstine Avenue. This work is expected to occur the week of October 12 and be completed within one week.
Property access will be maintained; however temporary restrictions will occur when paving repairs occur directly in front of a driveway entrance. Barricades and signage will be placed along the affected area prior to work commencing. This is a fast-moving project; once barricades are in place, there will be temporary access restrictions for up to three hours to allow the pavement to properly cure.
The City is dedicated to keeping the traveling public, businesses and residents informed of potential construction impacts throughout the project. Once complete, this project will extend pavement life and improve the road quality for Prescott motorists.
Work may occur Monday thru Friday, from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. During this work, motorists can expect rough road conditions, loud noise, flagging operations, reduced speeds and temporary lane and driveway restrictions. In case of inclement weather, work may be postponed without notice until weather permits.
For questions and additional project information, please call the Project Hotline at 928-237-3114.
