Two major projects are taking place this week in the South part of the valley.
ONE… is on Dean Martin Drive between Oquendo and Warm Springs. A 6 Million dollar project began Monday, June 11th. This project will last SIX MONTHS! Road crews will widen Dean Martin to two lanes in each direction. This road is used heavily… and the widening will help ease traffic congestion. Dean Martin runs just to the west of I-15, so it’s a nice short cut to and from Blue Diamond Road.
TWO… is construction on the Warm Springs Bridge. *** UPDATE - THIS PROJECT IS COMPLETE… NO MORE CLOSURES *** The bridge has structural damage after a truck hit the top of the bridge while attempting to drive underneath it on I-15. Eastbound lanes have been closed… NOW, both eastbound and westbound lanes will close as workers begin to repair the bridge. The closure will last until at least through Friday morning. I-15 will also be affected. I-15 Northbound will be reduced to two lanes from 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. — and one lane overnight. Plan those alternate routes!
Happy Monday! Have a great week.
