The project is budgeted for this fiscal year with Highway User Revenue Fund and Pinal County transportation sales tax funds. The work will last about two weeks within the March to May time frame.
Portions of Pinyon, Gregory and Cactus Wren streets within the Haven Hallow subdivision west of Delaware Drive in Apache Junction are to be reconstructed.
The Apache Junction City Council voted unanimously Jan. 21 on a consent agenda with other items to approve a contract with MR Tanner Construction. The work would be through city of Buckeye cooperative contract No. 2025094 for a total cost not to exceed $483,714.
The project is budgeted for this fiscal year with Highway User Revenue Fund and Pinal County transportation sales tax funds. The work will last about two weeks within the March to May time frame, Public Works Manager Shane Kiesow wrote in a memo to council.
“Work would occur during the daytime hours characterized by ‘soft’ road closures — open to local traffic only. Attention will be made to keep residential access open with only intermittent disruptions as construction equipment pass residential driveways,” he said.
