Work on El Mirage and Deer Valley Road has started (Click on the link to see the full report plus a map of the work to be done)
Starting Monday, July 14, 2008, the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) contractor will begin roadway construction of a new segment of El Mirage Road extending from Deer Valley Road to SR Loop 303. The project will construct a new six-lane (three travel lanes in each direction) roadway extension of El Mirage Road from Deer Valley Drive to Williams Road and widen the existing El Mirage Road between Williams Road and SR Loop 303. Construction is scheduled for completion in Spring 2009.
The new road will border the east boundaries of Sun City West & Corte Bella, opening up a much needed passage from Bell Rd to the Loop 303. Many Sun City West and Corte Bella residents that back up to the proposed road may be unhappy as this will undoubtedly affect future property appreciation values. Unfortunately the needs of many have outweighed the concerns of some.
