A project to improve the pavement along State Route 51 between the Interstate 10 “Mini-Stack” interchange and Shea Boulevard begins Friday, March 13, in Phoenix.
The work begins with a series of weekend closures along SR 51 so crews can remove the top layer of worn asphalt along the nearly 10-mile stretch. They will use the concrete pavement treatment known as diamond grinding to provide a smoother, quieter ride, according to a release from the Arizona Department of Transportation.
Southbound SR 51 is scheduled to be closed between Cactus Road and Northern Avenue from 9 p.m. Friday, March 13, to 5 a.m. Monday, March 16, for the pavement removal.
