S 60 (Grand Avenue) and Bell Road Weekly Project Update
Eastbound Grand Avenue to close on Sunday (Feb. 21) to remove lane striping and re-stripe Grand Avenue in advance of the traffic switch

Weekly Update #4—Week of February 22, 2016

The Grand Avenue/Bell Road Interchange Project is using the design-build contracting method, which provides flexibility while the contractor’s designers work side-by-side with the construction team to deliver an improved connection between the two roadways. The project is scheduled to be completed over the next 14 months (in spring 2017).

Utility relocation work in the area, mostly during overnight hours, is already under way.

In order to reduce the project’s length and lessen the overall impacts of construction, ADOT has worked with the city of Surprise and local businesses to schedule a full closure of Bell Road near Grand Avenue. The full closure will allow Bell Road to be reconstructed as an overpass traveling over Grand Avenue and the parallel railroad tracks, providing a significant improvement for traffic flow.

The preliminary activities below are preparing the team for the April 1 Bell Road closure.
 
Schedule of On-site Activities*
Prepare for traffic switch on Grand Avenue:
  • roadway paving,
  • apply new lane striping,
  • modify the traffic signal at Town Center Drive/Bell Grande Drive, and
  • install temporary concrete barrier to establish work zone 
What to Expect > Traffic Restrictions*

  • Eastbound Grand Avenue will be closed between Litchfield and Dysart roads Sunday (Feb. 21) from 7 a.m. to Monday (Feb. 22) 3 a.m.
  • Business access available from Bell Road; no turning movements to eastbound Grand Avenue.
     
    SUGGESTED DETOUR: Eastbound Grand Avenue traffic use Reems to Greenway to Dysart roads back to eastbound Grand Avenue.
       Overnight Westbound Grand Avenue Restrictions
  • Westbound Grand Avenue restricted to one lane on Monday (Feb. 22), Tuesday (Feb. 23) and Wednesday (Feb. 24) nights from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
