Drivers in Casa Grande, brace yourselves for delays—Pinal Avenue will soon be a patchwork of cones and construction workers as the city embarks on the final stretch of the Kortsen Road Sewer Relief Project. On Monday, contractors will set up camp at the intersection of Highway 387 (Pinal Avenue) and Kortsen Road, as reported by City of Casa Grande. The jack and bore operations are set to last two months, signaling a period of potential traffic disruptions including lane reductions and restricted left turns.
The project, valued at $8.7 million, is crucial for the city's growth, aiming to expand sewer capacity by an estimated 9 million gallons per day and snaking along 4.6 miles from the Henness Road alignment to the City's Water Reclamation Facility, this information made available in a City of Casa Grande notice. While necessary, residents and visitors should prepare for a more tedious commute; motorists are asked to proceed with caution amid the inevitable construction dance of machinery and diligent workers embellishing the streetscape.
The City of Casa Grande is asking for the public's cooperation, urging drivers to take it slow within the cone zones for everyone's safety and to comply strictly with traffic control devices. Contact details have been provided: those with general inquiries about the project can get in touch with the Casa Grande Public Works Department at (520) 421-8625, while questions specifically about the traffic can be directed to Josh Crandall, Project Superintendent, at (602) 527-4485.
