Roadway & Utilities

This neighborhood enhancement project focused on rebuilding selected residential driveways, ADA corner ramps, and sidewalks to meet full accessibility standards. Crews removed and replaced existing curbs, aprons, and valley gutters as part of the roadway reconstruction, improving overall functionality and pedestrian safety. Tight coordination around active water and sewer mains ensured utility protection throughout construction—even though no new waterlines were laid, every concrete removal and utility adjustment was meticulously planned to prevent service interruptions.

Throughout the work, the team kept residents in the loop with clear signage, phased work zones, and regular updates to minimize disruption and maintain safe access. By blending rigorous planning with hands‑on execution, the project delivered seamless concrete upgrades and a refreshed streetscape that enhances mobility and compliance across the Val Vista Lakes community.

Reconstruction and widening of Pima Road to Pinnacle Peak to Happy Valley, and Happy Valley Road from Pimato Alma School, included two new roundabouts, 13,333 LF of wet utilities, new traffic signals, phased traffic control, and public outreach. Also included is FCDMC and ASLD coordination to cross Pima Road in phases with precast box culverts in cooperation with another contractor

This project involved the extensive reconstruction and widening of Pima Road from Pinnacle Peak to Happy Valley and Happy Valley Road from Pima to Alma School. The scope included two new roundabouts, 13,333 linear feet of wet utilities, new traffic signals, and phased traffic control. Critical to the project’s success was the extensive coordination with stakeholders, including the Flood Control District of Maricopa County (FCDMC) and the Arizona State Land Department (ASLD). This collaboration was essential to phase the crossing of Pima Road with precast box culverts, executed in cooperation with another contractor, ensuring seamless integration and minimal disruption to the surrounding community.

This project delivered major drainage upgrades across the Cavasson Onsite development and the Crossroads East basin. Scope included a concrete‑lined channel, flood walls, energy dissipators, and export of 300,000 CY of basin earthwork. Crews installed dual 60″ storm‑drain pipes and performed jack‑and‑bore casing for sewer, water, and communications lines under tight site constraints.

Working alongside multiple stakeholders—from Nationwide Realty Investors and Grayhawk Development to the City of Scottsdale—the team managed heavy equipment and complex sequencing to keep adjacent residential and commercial areas dry and operational. The new infrastructure now reliably conveys stormwater through a high‑growth corridor, reducing flood risk and supporting future development.

Over 1.5 miles from Black Mountain Road to Cave Creek Road, this widening project added six traffic lanes, raised medians, bike lanes, sidewalks, streetlights, and new drainage structures. Landscape pockets and pedestrian crossings were integrated to balance vehicular capacity with community connectivity. Maintaining traffic on this key Desert Ridge corridor required phased work zones and night‑shift crews. The upgraded roadway now moves higher volumes more safely, connects neighborhoods to retail centers, and lays groundwork for future transit and multimodal enhancements.

This one‑mile rebuild replaced worn asphalt, reconstructed pedestrian ramps and driveways, installed new medians, and laid 4,700 LF of 16″ ductile‑iron waterline. To keep five of seven lanes open, crews used innovative phasing and temporary striping. Upgraded pavement, ADA‑compliant sidewalks, and a modern water distribution line now support downtown traffic and growth — all delivered without closing the main gateway from US‑60.
