NOTICE: The community will begin to see soil collection work beginning on Monday, Feb. 22, 2021, within the project area as the team collects soil data to begin the design phase of the project. The vertical boring operations are minimally invasive and relatively quickly completed. The truck mounted drill rig will drill test holes, sample and catalog the subsurface soils, and then back-fill the holes with a soil mixture.
The City of Scottsdale is beginning a design project that will connect Miller Road between Pinnacle Peak Road and Happy Valley Road, including a bridge over the Rawhide Wash. Completing this connection will create a new option for north/south travel beyond Scottsdale and Pima roads and provide a direct connection to the Hayden Road/Loop 101 interchange. The new segment of roadway will include two lanes of travel in each direction, bike lanes, and detached sidewalks with landscaped buffers on either side of the street.
As with any project, the City of Scottsdale is committed to engaging with the community and getting community input throughout the duration of the project. Community outreach is anticipated to take place during spring and summer of 2021 and will focus on the aesthetics of the roadway and bridge design.
