Drivers heading between Phoenix and Maricopa on Sunday should expect periodic stops at SR 347 and Riggs Road, where the Arizona Department of Transportation has scheduled intermittent full closures in all directions for traffic signal and utility work.
The closures, which KTAR reports could last up to 15 minutes each, are scheduled between 4 a.m. and 4 p.m. ADOT is urging drivers to allow extra travel time and expect delays throughout the day. InMaricopa.com confirmed the Arizona Department of Transportation notified the city of Maricopa of the planned closures.
The prep work is tied to the broader SR 347 Improvement Project, which ADOT has scheduled to begin construction this summer. A separate ADOT announcement previously confirmed the final design for a future interchange at the intersection includes a bridge to carry SR 347 over Riggs Road to enhance safety and improve traffic flow.
Construction on the SR 347 Improvement Project is scheduled to begin this summer.
