Two lanes of travel will remain open for Agua Fria (west/east) and one lane of travel for South Meadows (north/south). Traffic delays are expected, and you should consider using alternate routes whenever possible.
Although most of the roadway work is complete, the new traffic signals have not yet been installed. Delivery of the signal equipment has been delayed due to tariffs and supply chain issues, and we have not yet received a delivery date from the manufacturer. Instead of the traffic signals, 4-way stop signs have been installed. Please adhere to all 4-way stop traffic regulations.
