Construction crews are making quick progress on the Bowlin Road crossing of the Santa Cruz Wash.

Pipes were laid and backfilled Tuesday, allowing heavy equipment to pass over. Flood waters often make the area impassable, and this is the first time the City of Maricopa has invested heavily in improving the road.

“We’re super-excited to get this done,” said Mike Riggs, director of the Public Services Department.

The crossing is part of a larger effort to improve Bowlin between White and Parker Road and Anthony Boulevard in Rancho Mirage Estates. Riggs said the goal is to complete the project by Sept. 22, if the weather is cooperative.
