FLORENCE, AZ – The Pinal County Public Works Department has added a new feature to its the Transportation Construction projects page. Transportation projects and road closures can now be viewed on a Google Map.
 
“Transportation Improvements” noted on the map are projects that are planned or currently under construction in the Board of Supervisors approved Transportation Improvement and Maintenance Program (TIMP).
 
“Road/Lane Closures” on Pinal County maintained roads are posted on the current year map. Pinal County Public Works also provides updates on these road closures on the Road Closure Hot Line, Nixle, and through online News Releases.
 
The details of each posted project or road closure can be viewed by clicking on the project icon on the map.  Updates are made as the project status changes and roads are closed or re-opened.
 
Nixle is an online community information service that helps you stay connected to current information from your local police department, schools, community agencies and organizations, and important information from other relevant locations.  There are four types of messages: Alerts (emergency type alerts), Advisories (less urgent need-to-know information), Community information (day-to-day community-level information) and Traffic (very localized traffic information).  This information can be sent to your phone or via email.  For more information on how to sign up for Nixle updates, go to: http://local.nixle.com/county/az/pinal/
 
Pinal County Public Works encourages you to use the valuable resources on the website to stay informed of changes within the county that could affect you or your travel plans.
