City road crews, in collaboration with Combs Construction, kicked off overnight median repairs yesterday at the railroad crossing just a hop north of MC-85 (Buckeye Road). These repairs are slated to run through Thursday, putting a small crimp in the night driving schedule. While the sun's up, all lanes will stay wide open, but when the moon comes out, you're looking at single-file traffic starting at 9 p.m. until the crew packs up at 5 a.m.
The City of Avondale Public Works Department is asking drivers to exercise caution and heed the posted signs. Although the construction might not be visible during the day, the changes come at night when each direction is rerouted into its one remaining lane.
The specifics of this operation, as detailed by the City of Avondale website, are quite straightforward. The median at the Dysart Road railroad crossing, north of MC-85, is undergoing a nocturnal facelift from Monday to Thursday. This will undoubtedly cause some overnight delays, but the city assures that this necessary maintenance will be worth the temporary inconvenience.
The City of Avondale Public Works Department is reachable at 623-333-4400 for anyone needing additional information about the project.
