Sedona AZ (August 5, 2016) – A $41.9 million overpass and interchange under construction at Grand Avenue (US 60) and Bell Road in Surprise, Arizona, will add concrete to the bridge deck in the coming week.
The Arizona Department of Transportation will close Grand Avenue in both directions from 10:00 p.m., Friday, August 12, until 5:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 13, for the deck pour. During that time, traffic will detour at Dysart and Litchfield roads.
Other work in the coming week will include crews continuing to create new eastbound lanes for Grand Avenue and adding retaining wall panels for the bridge carrying Bell Road over Grand Avenue.
Bell Road remains closed in the area between Dysart and Litchfield roads to reduce the project’s length and lessen the overall impacts of construction. Access to businesses near the project will be maintained throughout.
Bell Road is scheduled to reopen to traffic by November 2016, while the entire interchange is set for completion by spring 2017.
The primary detour routes while Bell Road is closed are Dysart, Greenway, and Litchfield roads. Drivers should observe signs and speed limits. Law enforcement officers are patrolling the area.

Remember monsoon season has arrived in Arizona. Don’t drive into dust storms and Pull Aside, Stay Alive.
