TUCSON -  Two sections of State Route 82 and one section of State Route 83 will be treated with an oil to rejuvenate the asphalt and help prevent potholes, the Arizona Department of Transportation says. The process is called seal coating. Both northbound and southbound lanes will receive the treatment.
The oil will be applied to the following sections on State Route 82:
.        7 a.m. to 1 p.m., July 26 and 27: A 12-mile section between the junctions of State Routes 82 and 83 to Rascal Ranch Road
.        7 a.m. to 1 p.m., July 28 and 29:  A nine-mile section from Royal Road to Lake Patagonia Road
The oil will be applied to the following section of State Route 83:
.        7 a.m. to 1 p.m., Aug. 4 to 6: A 13-mile section between I-10 and milepost 46
One lane will be open at all times. Flaggers and a pilot car will direct traffic. Drivers can expect delays of 15 to 30 minutes.
ADOT advises drivers to proceed with caution, obey all posted speed limit signs, and be alert for construction equipment and personnel. While ADOT strives to inform the public about planned roadway restrictions, during any complex construction project there is a possibility that unscheduled closures or restrictions may occur. Weather could also affect the schedule. ADOT appreciates the patience of the travelling public as crews construct these improvements.

Beginning the week of Sept. 21, the county will close the Rio Rico landfill on Sundays and eliminate Thursday from the dumping schedule in Sonoita and Tubac.

"Sunday dumping doesn't pay for itself," Karl Moyers, solid waste manager, told Santa Cruz County supervisors on Aug. 12.

The county will reduce the landfill hours and leave two vacant positions unfilled to save an estimated $120,000 per year, Moyers said. The supervisors voted 3-0 to approve the changes.

Here is the new schedule, effective Sept. 21:

Rio Rico landfill: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday; closed on Sunday.

Sonoita-Elgin landfill and the Tubac-Amado transfer station: 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

For more information, call Public Works at (520) 375-7830.
