Scottsdale Road Improvements – Jomax Road to Dixileta Drive

Construction continues for improvements to Scottsdale Road from Jomax Road to Dixileta Drive. Planned improvements will convert this section of Scottsdale Road to a complete street to include landscaped medians, bike lanes, sidewalks and trails to improve safety, capacity and accessibility for motor vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The project includes installation of a signalized crossing at Pinnacle Vista Drive, and drainage improvements. 

Scottsdale Road at Dixileta Drive:

  • Scheduled to begin Monday, Feb. 16, Dixileta Drive will be CLOSED on the east side of Scottsdale Road through March 13 to accommodate construction of the east side of the intersection. North and south bound Scottsdale Road will remain open for travel; however, left turns will not be permitted for north or south bound Scottsdale Road onto Dixileta Drive. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure.

Scottsdale Road, Dixileta Drive to Dynamite Boulevard:

  • Scottsdale Road traffic is currently shifted to the west side of Scottsdale Road, one lane in each direction with left turns restricted at Dixileta Drive. Left turns are permitted between Dynamite Boulevard and Dixileta Drive. There is no access to Dale Lane or Via Dona Road on the east side of Scottsdale Road; however, access is maintained for Desert Foothills Lutheran Church and SonRise Bible Church.
  • Crews are currently working to construct the concrete path on the east side of Scottsdale Road. Work is also taking place to construct the concrete curb, gutter and sidewalk ramps. 

Scottsdale Road at Dynamite Boulevard:

  • Dynamite Boulevard remains CLOSED on the east side of Scottsdale Road through March 13 to accommodate waterline work at the intersection. North and South bound Scottsdale Road remains open for travel and left turns are permitted for northbound Scottsdale Road to westbound Dynamite Boulevard. Detour signage is in place to direct travelers around the closure.

Scottsdale Road, Oberlin Way (south of Dynamite) to Jomax Road:

  • Scottsdale Road traffic is currently shifted to the west side of Scottsdale Road, one lane in each direction with left turns restricted at Jomax Road. Left turns are permitted between Jomax Road and Dynamite Boulevard. There is no access to Redbird Road, Bent Tree Drive, or Oberlin Way on the east side of Scottsdale Road. 
  • Crews continue work placing riprap in the drainage swale on the east side of Scottsdale Road and have begun work to install the concrete path. In the near future, concrete work will include installing curb and gutter, and grading crews will build the subsurface of the roadway to prepare for paving, currently scheduled for late March. 

Please remember that Scottsdale Road is an active construction area and refrain from pedestrian or cycling activity in the work zone. And, although traffic is now on newly paved asphalt, the speed limit remains at 30 mph through the construction zone. Traffic control is in place for your safety and the safety of construction crews. Please use an alternate route if one is available in order to help minimize traffic back-ups on Scottsdale Road. 

Based on temperatures and the remote location from the concrete materials supplier, concrete pours may take place in the early morning hours, weekdays, as needed, to provide the best quality end product. Work primarily takes place during daytime hours, weekdays; however, it may be necessary, at times, to conduct work during night hours or weekend days.
