Scottsdale Announces Water Main Repair Project Between May-Oct.

SCOTTSDALE, AZ —The City of Scottsdale announced Friday that there will be road and lane closures in the coming months along E. Dove Valley Road —between 56th Street and 67th Street —while Scottsdale Water makes improvements to a water main.

"Scottsdale Water is committed to delivering safe, reliable drinking water to its customers," the city said in a statement. "To do this, the city invests in infrastructure projects to improve water quality and delivery, improve aging infrastructure and increase safety and security of the city's water system."

The city added: "Scottsdale Water has identified a water main along E. Dove Valley Road as needing repair. To do this, E. Dove Valley Road will be under construction while teams work diligently to improve the overall system during Summer 2022."

The closures will take place in two phases.

Phase 1 is estimated to last from May 23 to Aug. 1, and it will include a complete closure of E. Dove Valley Road from N 56th Street to N 60th Street, including the west and south sections of the roundabout at 60th street.

During this time, there will be no access to the Lone Mountain Community at N. 60th Street or the southern parking lots at Cactus Shadows High School.

"Local residents should plan accordingly for traffic detours and delays," the city said.

Scottsdale Water also said it will aim to complete most of the work in front of Cactus Shadows High during summer break.

Phase 2 is expected to last from Aug 1 to Oct 1, and it will consist of construction work along E. Dove Valley Road from N. 60th St. east to N. 67th St.

The city said that one-lane closures will be necessary during this phase and that residents will need to allow extra time to get to work or school.

Additionally, construction crews will try to minimize driveway restrictions during the project, but some temporary driveway closures will be necessary, according to the city.
