The City of Tucson's Department of Transportation and Mobility (DTM) has initiated its Operation Splash campaign to protect the traveling public during storms. Crews from the DTM's Streets Maintenance Division are staging barricades at hundreds of dip crossings throughout the city.
During the monsoon, DTM Street Maintenance staff members are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through mid-September. As washes flood, crews will close roadways at dip crossings and washes using more than 500 barricades placed near the crossings.
For the ninth consecutive year, DTM will assist residents concerned with flooding by offering free sandbags in the east parking lot of Hi Corbett Field, 700 S. Randolph Way, at Reid Park. The self-serve sandbag site will open ahead of the first predicted storm. Sand and sandbags will be provided by DTM staff, but residents should bring their own shovels. There is a limit of 10 sandbags per vehicle.
"Remember, a barricade in place on a roadway is a sign that unsafe conditions exist ahead," stated a representative from DTM. Residents are encouraged to follow DTM on social media for up-to-date information on the sandbag station and road closures that occur during the monsoon.
To contact DTM for questions or issues, residents can call 311 or visit Tucson 311 to submit a request.
