The fourth and final phase of the fiscal year’s road repaving program begins April 8. The next phase is the repaving of Panorama Drive, from Saguaro Blvd. on the east to past Fountain Hills Park and reconnecting to Saguaro Blvd. on the west. This project should last until April 25, barring any weather-related delays.
Traffic will be allowed on Panorama with lane restrictions during this project. Drivers must obey all traffic signs and requests from public safety personnel. Businesses located along Panorama Drive will have access to their locations.
In 2022, the Town hired Roadway Asset Services to laser-test the entire road network to help determine which roads needed urgent repair. This report and review of the age of streets helped formulate the four-phase road repair and replacement plan.
The first phase was in December 2023. This project rebuilt or repaired the industrial area of Kiwanis Dr. from Saguaro to El Lago, Enterprise Dr., and Colony Dr. The second phase included the removal and replacement of pavement on Ibsen Drive, Sherwood Drive, Sterling Way, and Ashbrook Drive between Fountain Hills Boulevard and Cameo Drive. Jacklin Drive was the third phase of road repair. Crews completed this phase in March.
Construction will not affect emergency services, which will have access 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Other service vehicles, like Republic Services, Post Office, and other delivery services, will also have access to your home during the duration of this project.
