The new Deer Valley Road Bridge is complete and drivers, pedestrians and cyclist are using the new roadway.
Maricopa County and City of Peoria officials celebrated the opening Aug. 6.
The 711-foot bridge spans across Agua Fria River at Deer Valley Road and 109th Avenue. Because it’s an all-weather crossing, the bridge will improve traffic flow during storms, give emergency vehicles a direct route to residents living in unincorporated Maricopa County and provide a shorter drive time for residents commuting to and from Peoria, according to a Maricopa County Department of Transportation news release.
