Work is scheduled to begin in early April 2024 for Tempe’s Downtown Refresh Project, which will enhance the Mill Avenue Streetscape from University Drive to Rio Salado Parkway.
It’s the first renovation of its kind on Mill Avenue in about 40 years, a city release explained.
The project includes sidewalk and ADA improvements providing more public space, with a new planting scheme incorporating sustainable practices, such as water harvesting, infrastructure upgrades to electric and irrigation, shade structures, new lighting and art.
Construction will take place in multiple phases. This phase will focus on improvements to the Mill Avenue and University Drive intersection, according to the release.
Work at the Mill Avenue/University Drive intersection is scheduled to begin in early April with lane restrictions and turn restrictions in place as needed to maintain a safe work zone. This work is expected to be complete in August 2024.
The construction schedule will accommodate planned events in downtown Tempe and Valley Metro schedules. During construction, access to Mill Avenue businesses will remain open.
