The first step in the repairs will be the full depth removal and replacement of several sections of the road that have failed. Once completed, the contractor will mill the edge of the road and apply a two inch thick mat of new asphalt. A second contractor will be placing a micro-seal over another section of 83rd Avenue between Cactus Road north to Windrose Avenue The new striping plan for the entire segment includes new bike lanes from Peoria Avenue to Thunderbird Road on both sides of 83rd Avenue. Allwork should be complete by May 2013. The traffic control set up during construction will allow for only one lane of traffic in each direction and will restrict left turns. Please use caution when driving through the area.
