TORTILLA FLAT, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) — The Arizona Department of Transportation released on Friday details of a $33.5 million project to fix the damaged 5 miles of state Route 88 northeast of Apache Junction. The changes will restore safety and sustainability to the highway that is currently unpaved between Fish Creek Hill Outlook and Apache Lake Marina Road. The agency wants to chip-seal the road surface and widen it to 15 feet in steeper areas. For more safety, crews would add rock bolts to unstable rock surfaces, remove loose and overhanging rocks and place a concrete wall on steep sections.
