Detours ahead for Maricopa drivers

Maricopa drivers can expect some major detours in the coming weeks as the Arizona Department of Transportation works on State Route 347 at two intersections.

Expect delays.

See map below

Aug. 5-8, ADOT will improve the roadway surface on SR 347 at the Smith-Enke Road intersection (SR 238). That work begins at 7 p.m. on Friday.

Northbound and southbound traffic will have lane restrictions. Eastbound traffic on SR 238 will be detoured south on Ralston Road and then east on Farrell to connect to SR 347. Westbound vehicles on Smith-Enke will be detoured south on Porter Road and then west on Honeycutt Road to SR 347.

The work is expected to be completed by 3 a.m. Aug. 8.

Beginning Aug. 12 at 7 p.m., ADOT will conduct similar work on SR 347 at the intersection of Edison Road.

Northbound and southbound vehicles will again experience lane restrictions. Eastbound traffic on Edison will be directed south on Wilson Avenue and then east on Hathaway Avenue.
