Pinal County is advising drivers they may find delays on roads for several months as crews repair sinkholes in Copper Basin, Rancho Bella Vista and Circle Cross Ranch. Workers will first remove failed material and re-compact the base, allowing it to stand for a few weeks before paving.
Some trenches may be left open overnight if the area needs to be dried out. The county plans to repair the worst areas first.
During the work, drivers may experience loose gravel on the road.

Wait just a minute, are you trying to say that the road repair business is slow. Don't you understand that certain things must be done in order, and to rush those things voids the warrantee. Road lines must be blackened, new lines put down (never within a month of each other); roads must be dug up and then filled (only when drivers have learned to wait for flaggers) no sooner than 3 weeks of emptying the hole; and never, never remove the traffic cones before the next road repair is ready for them (as we don't have the storage space for all the cones). Finally, and most important, be sure that the new road is at least one lane more (or less) than the section of road it joins.
