Multiple Southside roads closed by flooding near Gunnery Range Wash

Pima County closed several roads on Tucson’s south side Tuesday evening after monsoon storms pushed the Gunnery Range Wash out of its banks.

Closures included parts of Dawson Road, Country Club Road, East Dawson Road east of South Palo Verde Road, and Sahuarita Road east of Country Club Road. The affected area centered on Country Club and Dawson roads, where the wash crosses both streets.

The closures began shortly before 5 p.m. and later extended north toward Alvernon Way and south toward Sahuarita Road. The advisory area also reached several miles east along Sahuarita Road toward Wilmot Road.

Drivers should avoid the closed roads and use extreme caution on affected parts of Sahuarita Road.
