The City of Scottsdale is teaming up with the Salt River Pima–Maricopa Indian Community to upgrade Pima Road from McDowell Road north to Via Linda Way.
In addition to road repairs, the project will also improve pedestrian and bicycle access and modernize flood control infrastructure.
Pima Road serves as a vital connector in Scottsdale, linking nearly 12,000 daily drivers to their commutes, local businesses, neighborhoods and regional freeways.
Improvements include:
• Expanded capacity to ease congestion and improve daily commutes.
• Raised landscaped medians to enhance aesthetics and traffic safety.
• New bike lanes from McDowell Road north to Krail Street, resulting in a nearly seven-mile stretch of continuous bike lanes along Pima Road.
• Improved pedestrian features to make the corridor more walkable and accessible.
• Upgraded intersections and storm water management systems to prevent flooding and maintain road integrity during storms.
The roadway work, which has been almost 20 years in the making, will also continue efforts to enhance regional drainage and reduce flood risks along the corridor.
Construction began in October 2024 and will continue through winter 2026.
