Get ready for some construction blues, Gilbert drivers. The Arizona Department of Transportation is shaking things up on Germann Road, pinching traffic down to two lanes in both directions until April 19th. Commuters who cruise through this stretch from 8:30 AM to a dreary 3:30 PM, Monday to Friday, will need to steel themselves for the squeeze. Don’t sweat the left-hand turns onto Higley Road, though – you'll still make that swing.
The fuss is all about sprucing up the local crossroads, part of a grander intersection improvement project, as per the information doled out by the town's official announcement. And, for those who bank on empty roads over the weekends, think again. Workers might still be out there, buzzing away on your days off.
For those hungry for every morsel of truth on this project, point your browsers to the project website for your fix of updates, complete with an option to get the latest sent straight to your inbox.
Once the dust settles on Germann Road, it’s Higley Road's turn for a makeover. Word is, the north- and southbound lanes will get their own set of constraints for left-turn lane renovations. Throughout this dance of detours and delays, ADOT is throwing a caution flag, urging drivers to ease off the gas and mind the hardhats and heavy iron in the mix, so says the notice from Gilbert's municipal website.
