The Town of Florence Police Department is currently working with the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office and the Arizona Department of Transportation to alleviate traffic congestion during the upcoming Country Thunder event. The event is scheduled to begin Wednesday April 9, 2025, which will bring an influx of traffic congestion to the area. This congestion will continue throughout the weekend and will conclude Monday April 14, 2025.
We are advising commuters to use alternative routes and plan accordingly. There will be heavy congestion on State Route 79 between E. Arizona Farms Rd. and E. Cactus Forest Rd. There will also be congestion on E. Hunt Highway and E. Highway 287 coming into town. Traffic Enforcement will be conducted during this event. Our goal is to alleviate congestion safely and as efficiently as possible.
If you have any questions, please contact Commander Cody Linderoth at (520) 868-8330 or cody.linderoth@florenceaz.gov
