Allow plenty of time and observe all traffic control signs and barricades. The project team appreciates your continued patience. Bell Road closure detour route is from Bell Road to Dysart to Greenway to Litchfield roads. Businesses in the Bell-Grand area are open during the construction project.

Work continues Monday through Saturday to: • Reconstruct the eastbound Grand Avenue roadway. • Build retaining wall panels of the bridge over Grand Avenue. This will continue to be built for the next few months. City, County, and State law enforcement will be patrolling the area. Please obey all traffic signage and posted speed limits. The Grand Avenue/Bell Road Interchange Project is using the design-build contracting method, which provides flexibility while the contractor’s designers work side-by-side with the construction team to deliver an improved connection between the two roadways. The project is scheduled to be completed over the course of 14 months (in spring 2017). In order to reduce the project’s length and lessen the overall impacts of construction, ADOT has worked with the city of Surprise and local businesses to schedule a full closure of Bell Road near Grand Avenue. The full closure will allow Bell Road to be reconstructed as an overpass traveling over Grand Avenue and the parallel railroad tracks, providing a significant improvement for traffic flow. The Grand Avenue/Bell Road Interchange project is part of the Maricopa Association of Governments’ Regional Transportation Plan approved by county voters in 2004. Funding sources include a county half-cent sales tax for transportation projects and the MAG region’s share of federal highway funds. |
