Road Closure Advisory
Indian School Road at the Beardsley Canal
Roadway Improvement Project
Indian School Road at the Beardsley Canal
(Between 195th Avenue and Perryville Road)
2/6/12 - 6/6/12
Beginning at 5:00 a.m., Monday, February 6, 2012, the Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) contractor will temporarily close Indian School Road at the Beardsley Canal located between 195th Avenue and Perryville Road to perform necessary roadway and irrigation facility construction activities. During the temporary roadway closure, Thomas Road, 195th Avenue/Jackrabbit Trail or Perryville Road may be used as an alternate route.
Indian School Road is scheduled to reopen by 5:00 p.m., Wednesday, June 6, 2012. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Road closure during construction facilitates roadway improvements, enhances safety for motorists and workers, expedites the project schedule, decreases construction cost and minimizes inconveniences to the traveling public.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
