The Arizona Department of Transportation is advising drivers that Alterra Parkway will be closed at State Route 347 in Maricopa beginning Monday, Aug. 5.

The closure will remain in place through September as work continues on the construction of a new intersection at Alterra Parkway and SR 347 as part of the overpass project. As a result of the closure, which will begin at 5 a.m. Monday, drivers will not be able to turn west onto Alterra Parkway from SR 347 or access SR 347 eastbound from Alterra Parkway.

SR 347 will remain open to both north- and southbound traffic, and Desert Cedars Drive east of SR 347 also will remain open.

Drivers should use Bowlin Road as a detour.
