Crews to extend westbound US 60 left turn lanes

PHOENIX – The Grand Avenue (US 60) intersections at Bethany Home Road and Northern Avenue will be restricted for several months as part of an improvement project that starts Wednesday night, Feb. 12.

Crews will be extending the westbound Grand Avenue left turn lanes at each intersection to provide more room for drivers to travel westbound onto each of the cross streets. The intersection restrictions are due to be in place until this summer.

Westbound Grand Avenue will be narrowed to two through lanes and a limited left turn lane at the Bethany Home Road intersection starting at 9 p.m. Wednesday. Eastbound Grand Avenue also will be narrowed to two lanes in the work zone although the left turn lane to eastbound Bethany Home Road will remain open.

Similar restrictions will be put into place at the Grand Avenue intersection with Northern Avenue starting at 9 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18. Drivers should allow extra travel time while the Grand Avenue improvement project is underway.
