Green Valley, AZ – Northbound lanes of Interstate 19 are closed in Green Valley following a crash at milepost 42, state officials said Tuesday morning.
According to the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), the crash shut down the highway near Quail Creek, about 25 miles south of Tucson. Authorities did not release details on the number of vehicles involved or whether injuries were reported.
Traffic in the area is being diverted, and drivers should expect significant delays. ADOT said there is currently no estimated time for reopening the interstate. Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes until the closure is lifted.
The closure impacts travel between Amado and Sahuarita, a stretch of I-19 frequently used by commuters and commercial trucks. The northbound lanes remain blocked, while southbound traffic is unaffected at this time.
Drivers can find real-time updates on road conditions through the AZ511 mobile app available on Apple and Android devices. Officials encourage travelers to check road status before heading out and to allow extra time for detours.
This closure follows recent traffic disruptions in southern Arizona, where I-19 serves as a critical link between Nogales and Tucson. Authorities continue to monitor the situation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
