If you're planning to drive through Mesquite Boulevard and Rivera Boulevard next Tuesday night, you'll need to plot a different course. The City of Lake Havasu is shutting down these roads temporarily to make way for Public Works Infrastructure Improvements. This upgrade, we're told, is crucial to maintaining the city's waterline systems, and the decision to carry out the work at night is a strategic move to minimize disruption for businesses and drivers alike.
The closures are set to take place beginning next Tuesday, September 17, from 7:00 p.m. until the wee hours of Wednesday, September 18, at 3:00 a.m., a statement from the Lake Havasu City's official website indicates. To be precise, you won't be able to drive through Mesquite Boulevard from Civic Center Drive to Moyo Drive, and Rivera Boulevard will be off-limits from McCulloch Boulevard to Injo Drive during those times.
For those who frequent these parts, alternative routes are suggested to bypass the construction sites. Detours will funnel traffic around Moyo Drive and Civic Center Drive, providing a slight inconvenience but surely better than a full-on traffic snarl. And for those fond of their nightly commute, remember to be extra alert as you meander through said construction zones. Reduced visibility can make these areas particularly treacherous after dusk.
The City encourages residents and visitors alike to adhere to the detour signs and exercise caution, a notion echoed by safety advocates. In darkened areas where visibility is already compromised, the presence of construction equipment and personnel only compounds the potential danger. It's perhaps an ideal opportunity to practice defensive driving, or better yet, plan your evening activities to avoid the construction zones altogether.
For continual updates or to clarify any queries, you might have about the road closures or the waterline improvement project itself, stay tuned to Lake Havasu City’s website. And just so you don't forget, subscribe to their YouTube channel to stay informed on local developments.
