Construction on Baseline Road and Broadmoor Boulevard intersection starts June 21

From June 21 to August 4, drivers can expect intermittent major delays at the intersection of Baseline Road and Broadmoor Boulevard.

Road work involves reconstruction of the road base and new asphalt overlay of the entire intersection. This will improve the road base and surface to enable safe travel for residents.

Ongoing lane closures and turning restrictions will be in place day and night while road work is underway. Some minor detours may also be required.

Construction zone reminders:

• For the safety of County staff and contractors, please be patient when driving through construction zones
• Slow down and always obey the speed limit.
• Reduced speed limits are in effect even when workers are not present, as hazards may still exist.

Please note that weather can cause unexpected delays. Although we strive to maintain schedules, timeline changes may be required.
