TUCSON — The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) announced Wednesday that it will host a public meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 1, to present and gather input on planned improvements for the I-19 and Irvington Road interchange in Tucson.
The meeting is scheduled from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the El Pueblo Activity Center, Multipurpose Room, Building 9, at 101 W. Irvington Road.
