Hidden Valley road improvement projects begin Monday

Drivers in the Hidden Valley area should be aware that chip sealing on two local roads will take place Monday, April 26, through Friday, April 30.
 
Recent changes in the weather make this the ideal time of year to apply chip sealing to preserve roads. It must be applied during certain weather conditions, typically a fairly narrow window of time in spring and fall.
 
“We appreciate the opportunity to time our projects with the optimal weather to give drivers a smoother ride and extend the life of local roads,” said Greg Stanley, Pinal County’s Public Works Director.
 
The roads that will be chip sealed are:
· White and Parker Road from Gila Bend Highway (State Route 84) to Peters and Nall Road
· Louis Johnson Drive from John Wayne Parkway (State Route 347) to White and Parker Road
 
There will be a pilot vehicle to lead cars through the road improvement areas. Drivers should anticipate delays during the construction. Since this is a chip seal project to improve the roads, drivers should not follow vehicles too closely to protect their windshields from loose stones.
