Aug 20, 2012, 7:05 AM | Updated: 7:05 am

Overnight drivers on State Route 87 in the East Valley will need to plan for extra travel time this week.

Resurfacing work will cause closures on SR 87 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. between the Loop 202 and Gilbert Road from Monday through Thursday.

Some closures will also be in effect Aug. 27-30 as crews work along the right lanes of the road.

Some daytime lane restrictions will be in effect by mid-September. The entire project is scheduled to be completed in the fall.

We want to hear from you.
