For drivers, road construction is never fun.
But for Pinal County’s Public Works Department, road projects are a means to an end – to create more ways for drivers to get where they are going in a safer environment and with less hassle.
“Right now we are engaged in several projects,” Public Works Director Louis Andersen said. “Some are a big as the Hunt Highway expansion and some are small like pavement preservation efforts, but all are important to us. Our goal is to make our roadways safer for the drivers and to get the project done on-time and within the budget. Traffic reduction will not move forward on the Hunt Highway project until we complete the Ironwood safety project.”
