Residents and commuters at the crossroads of daily motion and municipal maintenance will face some overnight disruptions, as the intersection of Waddell Road and Sarival Avenue undergoes signal repair work. According to a City of Surprise announcement, the traffic signal will be taken offline starting at 8 p.m. today and is expected to be reactivated by approximately 7 a.m. the following morning.

Diversions will be the temporary norm, as Sarival Avenue will shut its north- and southbound lanes to traffic at this hinge point the intersection becoming a standstill with police officers on hand to direct vehicles under the watchful glow of fleeting headlights and the dim street lamps that line the route, Waddell Road will hold onto its east- and westbound flow, albeit with the squeeze of lane restrictions.

Stores and services that flank Waddell Road will retain their threads of connection, vigilant over hours of potential scarcity, but Sarival's will close, succumbing to the necessity of repair, their doors temporarily unreachable from the north up to Hearn Road and to the south facing Alexandria Way. Patrons and deliveries alike must navigate this temporary shift in landscape, tracing new paths to old destinations.

For those traveling along Sarival Avenue, alternative routes are available: southbound traffic can use Hearn Road, Legacy Parc Boulevard, and Waddell Road, while northbound drivers will be rerouted via Alexandria Way, Prasada Parkway, and back to Waddell Road. These detours are temporary as the city works on traffic signals.
