 Motorists traveling in the area of Mohave County Route 1 (CR 1), the
Golden Shores Parkway and Oatman Highway in Topock/Golden Shores, should be
prepared for brief delays through April during construction of a traffic roundabout,
according to the Arizona Department of Transportation.
In 2015, Mohave County
secured Federal Highway Safety Improvement Program construction funding for a
roundabout at the intersection of County Route 1, Golden Shores Parkway, and
Oatman Highway. The project’s purpose is to improve the overall flow and access
at the “Six Points Intersection” of CR 1, Golden Shores Parkway, Powell Lake
Road, and their intersections.
“Mohave County is
pleased to deliver its first and 100-percent federally funded roundabout
construction in Golden Shores, which developed under a community centered focus
and will enhance travel safety and mobility for commuters and visitors traveling
through the Colorado River communities”, said Mohave County Public Works
Director Steven P. Latoski.
Construction on the $950,000 project, Mohave County’s first
roundabout, is scheduled for completion in spring 2017.
WHAT TO EXPECT
- Phases one and two of the construction project
through early March includes clearing the work zone, removing the existing
asphalt, and paving a detour road
- Phases three and four include construction of
the roundabout, which is scheduled for completion in spring 2017
- The Business District remains open during construction, and property access will be maintained
at all times
- A temporary detour is in place, and traffic
could be reduced to one lane
- Work hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through
Friday
For more information
about this project, or roundabout questions:
Motorists should expect brief delays through the project
area as temporary lane closures and detours are in place. Drivers should
proceed through the work zone with caution, slow down and watch for
construction equipment and personnel.

inform the public about planned highway restrictions and closures, but it’s

factors. For the most current
