For the residents and drivers around Lake Havasu City, it's time to mark your calendars and plan your routes. On Monday, Querio Drive will undergo a facelift as part of the Mesquite Avenue paving improvement project. The road will be closed to through traffic from 4:30 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., stretching from Mesquite Avenue all the way to McCulloch Boulevard North. City officials are asking everyone to steer clear and find alternate paths, with detours promised to be adequately marked to avoid any kind of commuting chaos.
Anticipating the disruption this might cause, Lake Havasu City authorities are urging the public to plan and be a bit flexible with their usual travel plans. Detours will be in place, leading drivers around the construction with the hope of keeping the inconvenience to a bare minimum. "This daytime closure is necessary to complete paving operations and ensure the safety of crews and the public," explained the city in a statement obtained by the official Lake Havasu City website.
The project falls in line with the city's ongoing efforts to improve infrastructure. The expected outcome is a smoother ride for everyone with a promise of enhanced roads and possibly fewer potholes to dodge. Lake Havasu City is keen on reminding the public that these efforts are made with the long-term benefits in mind. Although the commute on June 16 may be a bit bumpy, the result should justify the day's aggravation.
Local businesses and regular commuters should take particular note of the upcoming roadwork. Everyone planning to travel for that day is advised to allow extra time for their journeys. Lake Havasu City has extended thanks in advance for the patience and cooperation of both residents and visitors as they push through the closing stages of this part of their infrastructure improvement plan.
