A stretch of Gates Pass Road is shut down after recent storms damaged the pavement.

The Pima County Department of Transportation closed the roadway from Kinney Road to Via Scaramuzzo on Aug.

The closure will stay in effect while crews complete emergency repairs.

Drivers heading east or west on Gates Pass will need to find different routes.

Local residents can still access parts of the road outside the full closure zone, officials said.

Drivers are advised to watch for traffic control signs and plan for longer travel times.

The construction timeline could shift if equipment breaks down or bad weather moves in.
