Avondale residents and commuters should prepare for minor delays, as city officials kick off improvements at a well-traveled intersection. Commencing on September 2, Avondale’s Engineering Department has initiated the installation of a new monument sign strategically positioned at the northeast corner of Buckeye Road (MC85) and Dysart Road.

According to the City of Avondale announcement, the project not only aims to upgrade wayfinding for the city’s inhabitants but also to enhance the existing infrastructure, with noticeable landscaping improvements in store for the immediate area. However, those accustomed to the thoroughfare’s usual flow will have to temporarily adapt, as the right turn lane from Buckeye Road onto Dysart Road northbound will be periodically restricted. These disruptions are slated to occur from early morning at 6 a.m. to early afternoon at 1 p.m. during the course of construction. In a maneuver to assist drivers, signage will be strategically placed to safely direct the vehicular ballet that courses through the work zone.

Details provided by the City of Avondale anticipate the work's culmination by September 20, a swift two-week span. However, a concession to reality underscores that this schedule is tentative and could shift in response to unpredictable weather conditions or other variables that often conspire to reshape the best-laid plans. Motorists are reminded to remain vigilant, their caution a safeguard around the busy construction workers and machinery that will populate the landscape during this period.

For those interested in more details or seeking further information, the City of Avondale Engineering Department is available for inquiries at 623-333-4000. You can also visit the City’s official website for additional information on this construction advisory.
