Commuters brace yourselves for some disruption, as Avondale gears up for construction at the crossroads of Park Avenue and Dale Earnhardt Drive, where a new bus stop is coming to town. The City of Avondale has announced the installation of a spanking-new Park N Ride Bus Stop facility, designed to connect seamlessly with the relocated service within the The BLVD Parking Garage.
The nitty-gritty details mean Park Avenue will be shut down from W. Roosevelt Street to W. Dale Earnhardt Drive leaving local drivers on the hunt for alternative paths, however, not to worry because detours are in place, the American Sports Center - Avondale along with The BLVD Parking Garage remain within reach, with N. 114th Ave, The BLVD, and Dale Earnhardt Drive providing the necessary detours that have been surprisingly not affected by the construction melee.
Mark your calendars: the project kicks off March 11, 2024, and the endgame is set for May 31, 2024, barring any curveballs from Mother Nature or other surprise twists. And, yes, as always with the dance of construction, patience is key, you know the drill – things can change.
Keep an eye peeled and tread lightly if you’re driving through as the city is hammering home a message of caution around the site – for your safety and that of the hard hats turning the plans into reality, motorists, the city didn't mince words in their plea, "Please remember to slow down and use caution around construction workers and equipment," which was detailed on the city's official website just the day before the first rubble was set to fall, but in the same breath, if you need the 411 on this whole roadwork rigamarole, the City of Avondale’s Engineering Department is just a phone call away at 623-333-4000 – they’ve got the answers.
