Peoria residents, brace yourselves for ongoing developments as the 67th Avenue Corridor Improvement Project marches on, with the stretch from Pinnacle Peak Road to Happy Valley Road in the midst of significant widening and drainage enhancements. As reported by the City of Peoria, utility crews from APS and Southwest Gas are currently relocating their infrastructure, a job expected to run through the end of June, as they clear the path for upcoming civic improvements.
Amidst the shuffle, Peoria motorists should note, the Hatfield Road and 72nd Avenue intersection is set to be shut down from May 12 to 30 for the installation of a storm drain pipe, and despite the inconvenience, detour signs will shepherd travelers around the construction; paving is on the calendar for June 2. Concurrently, a team will dig into the Pinnacle Peak basin, extricating pipes, reconstructing twin concrete headwalls, this undertaking anticipated to span a period of 5-6 weeks.
Beginning after Memorial Day, a two-week prewetting process will commence as part of the drainage overhaul along the corridor between Hatfield Road and Saguaro Park Lane in Mountainview Ridge, preparing the area for subsequent pipe installation. The City of Peoria has also announced the closure of the New River Trail at Hatfield Road, with the closure anticipated to remain in effect until December 2026. For more information, residents can contact the project hotline at 602-532-6250 or visit 67thAvePeoriaAz.com for the latest updates.
