Drivers expecting to see a brand new coat of asphalt and rock dust palliative on Hidden Valley Road will have to wait a few days to see improvements to the road.
The original plan was to have Hidden Valley Road completed by Aug. 24, but inclement weather and safety concerns pushed the timeline back nearly two weeks. Public works crews will be on Hidden Valley Road this week improving the curve approaching McDavid Road.
The ARDP (asphalt, rock, dust palliative) application is anticipated to begin on Thursday, Sept. 2, with a completion date of Tuesday, Sept. 7. Drivers using Hidden Valley Road from Farrell Road to McDavid Road are urged to slow down and drive carefully as work is being completed to improve the roadway.
Pinal County Public Works crews will be placing a new road surface on Farrell Road beginning on Thursday, Sept. 9.
The Pinal County Public Works Department appreciates your patience and understanding as they work to improve your drive throughout the county.
