FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: City of Casa Grande Announces Traffic Delays Due to Sewer Relief Project
CASA GRANDE, AZ - [July 26, 2024] – Beginning approximately Monday, July 29th, and lasting for two months, contractors for the City of Casa Grande will initiate jack and bore operations under Pinal Avenue as part of the Kortsen Road Sewer Relief Project.
Contractors will mobilize at the intersection of Highway 387 (Pinal Avenue) and Kortsen Road to start the jack and bore operations. Motorists should expect traffic delays in the area, including lane reductions and restricted left turns throughout the project duration.
Motorists are asked to drive slowly in the cone zone and adhere to traffic control devices, as crews will be working on the roadway and along the shoulder. To expedite the construction schedule, a second crew has been added on Kortsen Road at Henness Road.
The $8.7 million Kortsen Road Sewer Relief Project spans approximately 4.6 miles. It will originate at the Henness Road alignment, navigate along the Kortsen Road alignment, and end at the City's Water Reclamation Facility (WRF). This project will add approximately 9 million gallons per day (MGD) of sewer capacity to address the demand for increased sewer capacity needed to sustain the city’s growth.
For general project inquiries, please contact the Casa Grande Public Works Department at (520) 421-8625. For matters related to traffic control, please reach out to Josh Crandall, Project Superintendent, at (602) 527-4485.
