Road Reconstruction - Milling Begins
To the Superstition Mountain Community,

We are at the start of the next step in the previously announced road reconstruction. Starting this morning, MR Tanner will begin to "Mill Out" the asphalt in areas identified for this project.

Milling the roads is a significant, and potentially disruptive step, in the reconstruction process. This work will take approximately three days from June 7 - June 9. When traveling in the areas marked for reconstruction, please proceed with caution and be prepared for potential delays.

Milling of the road is the step in which the road's surface is removed. Because the project's scope is for Full Depth Replacement, this work will remove the existing asphalt entirely, exposing the base material.

Important Information:
  • The milling process can be noisy and dusty; the vendors will control dust to the extent possible.

  • While there may be localized traffic control and potential for delays, the milling process will not restrict access or close any roads.

  • Once milling is complete, the base of the road will be exposed until the "Pave Days" scheduled June 19 - 21. Once exposed, the areas of reconstruction will be functionally similar to a "dirt road" until it is paved over.

  • All regular traffic can drive over the dirt throughout the project areas until the three paving day closures. Driving on these roads will be like driving on a dirt road, road marking will be missing, etc. - PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY AND WITH CAUTION

FAQ's
How will I be affected if I live in the community but only drive on SMD in and out of the community?
If you do not live in Juniper, Sycamore, Cottonwood or Pinyon, your access will be impacted by active construction on various days, but there will be no full access restrictions.

Which Villages will be affected by access restrictions?
Juniper Village will be most impacted. This is due to the work occurring on the roads directly in front of their homes.

Sycamore, Pinyon, and Cottonwood Villages will also be impacted as the only access to these villages is by taking Juniper Village or Sycamore Village Drives off of Superstition Mountain Drive.

All four Villages will have access restrictions on June 19 for approximately 24 hours.
FAQ's - Juniper, Sycamore, Cottonwood & Pinyon
Why is the road being closed completely? Why access restrictions at all?
Access to and from residential home sites is a high priority during this project. However, there are significant benefits to paving the full width of the road to avoid a "cold joint" down the center.

These new roads are significant assets and are expected to last for 25 - 30 years. The Board, Committee, and our consultants and experts want to do everything possible to provide maximum longevity.

What are my options for the day of the road closure?
All affected Villages will receive a separate email regarding the plan for access, parking, etc. during the 24 hours of paving, scheduled for June 19. The Board and Golf Club are working to provide parking, shuttle by golf cart, etc. to minimize this impact to our owners. The full details, timing, etc. will be communicated as soon as we have them available.

What can I do now to prepare? (For those in the affected areas)
If you know that vendors are scheduled for June 19, we ask that you start making schedule changes now. This includes especially any landscapers, pool vendors, etc. that typically arrive with trucks, trailer and equipment and may blow dust and debris, turn on irrigation or drain a pool. Aside from the access restrictions, the above elements can be detrimental to the new road surface.

What about construction in the affected areas?
Active construction will be affected identically to the homeowners, except that shuttling workers and or equipment will not be possible. We ask that affected homesites in Juniper and Cottonwood Villages halt construction for one day on June 19.
