• Pipeline crews continue installation of water pipeline in the north side of Happy Valley Road moving west from Alma School Road. This work is currently scheduled to cross 101st Place the week of March 27. This work will be conducted one-half at a time to maintain access with a flagger in place, if needed, to assist in managing traffic while work takes place. This work will tentatively cross Golf Club Drive sometime around the end of April.

• Electric crews are currently working to install electric conduit on the south side of Happy Valley Road, from Pima Road working in an easterly direction toward Golf Club Drive. As this work crosses side streets or driveways, crews will work to maintain access; however, there may be short periods where access is restricted.

• APS contractor crews are working on the north side of Happy Valley, east of 101st Pl, and Southwest Gas contractor crews are currently working on the south side of Happy Valley, west of 92nd St, to relocate their respective facilities, behind existing traffic control.

• Crews continue work installing conduit across Happy Valley Road at several crossings. To better accommodate traffic during daytime hours, this work is taking place during night hours when needed, from 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. Sunday through Thursday nights, with a flagger in place to assist in managing traffic near the work zone. This work should be complete by the end of March.

• Plant salvage is scheduled to resume along Happy Valley Road within the next couple of weeks, with initial work taking place in front of Eagles Glen and Desert Skyline Estates. This activity will be limited to tree salvaging at this time, and coordination will take place with community representatives. 

​

*Utilities such as Cox, CenturyLink, and Southwest Gas are working or scheduled to work to relocate their facilities along Pima Road and Happy Valley Road, which may require additional traffic control. We are working to coordinate these efforts to the extent possible to minimize the impacts, but appreciate your patience as these relocations take place to clear the way for the planned improvements.

 

During construction, business and resident access will be maintained, although there may be times wherein it will not be the most direct route, so please allow extra time for your travel during construction.

​

Thank you for your patience during construction.

 

 

Not part of the Pima & Happy Valley Road Improvements Project, but provided for your information, City of Scottsdale is performing pavement applications in various locations with the following restrictions:

• Work on Dynamite Road, east of Alma School Road was completed yesterday; however, striping will need to take place in the near future. Striping usually takes place with a shadow truck shifting traffic around the activity, and doesn't require traffic control.

• Crews are working in Pinnacle Peak Road, west of Pima Road, today and tomorrow to complete slurry seal application with lane restrictions in place. Today, traffic is shifted to the curb lanes for work to take place in the middle, so left turn restrictions may be in place to accommodate this work.

• Crews are also working in Pima Road, from the Loop 101 to Pinnacle Peak Road to conduct asphalt restoration where work was recently completed. This work is taking place in segments and should be complete by end of day tomorrow.

Please note that some of this work is being done by private development and/or utilities and other work is part of planned asphalt maintenance operations performed by the City of Scottsdale’s Street Operations Department. Please see the link below for more information:
