View the weekly construction photos and additional information on the project website.

Work continues Monday through Saturday:

• Reminder: Grand Avenue FULL CLOSURE from 10 p.m. Friday (Aug. 12) to 5 a.m. Saturday (Aug. 13) to pour the bridge deck. Traffic will be detoured at Dysart and Litchfield roads.
• Driveways located near Chick-Fil-A and the Vitamin Shoppe will be inaccessible from Midnight Sunday (Aug. 14) to 6 a.m. Saturday (Aug. 20) to allow crews to rebuild this portion of Bell Road.  Entrances at West Point Parkway and Towne Center Drive will be maintained.
• Eastbound Grand Avenue roadway being reconstructed.
• The retaining wall panels of the bridge over Grand Avenue 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 next 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.
