Road Reconstruction - Update 3
To the Superstition Mountain Community,

The road work is impossible to miss for those of you here in Gold Canyon. Milling took place last week and we have exposed dirt roads in all areas marked for road reconstruction. We thank you for your diligence and attention while driving through the community, and we ask for your continued patience for another ten days.

See below for a reminder of the schedule for this week and next, as well as some additional FAQ's. Also below are some photos of the "dirt" roads, and video of the milling for those who are interested.

Schedule - What Comes Next?
THIS WEEK: Ground Prep & Grading Work

  • 6/14: Loop Installation at entry and exit gates
  • This work is necessary to install the ground loop detectors prior to paving. These loops signal the exit gate to open as vehicles approach and prevent the gate from closing on vehicles as they drive through the entry gate.

  • This work WILL require incoming and exiting traffic to be re-routed temporarily starting at 6:30 am. Please exercise caution when entering and exiting.          

  • 6/14 - 6/20: Ground Prep & Grading Work (no closure, driving over dirt allowed)
NEXT WEEK: Paving

  • 6/19: Phase 1 Asphalt Paving
  • Green Section of the Map closed 6am to 6am
  • ROAD CLOSURE AFFECTS JUNIPER, SYCAMORE, COTTONWOOD, AND PINYON VILLAGES

  • 6/20: Phase 2 Asphalt Paving
  • Blue Section of the Map closed 6am to 6am   

  • 6/21: Phase 3 Asphalt Paving
  • Red Section of the Map closed 6am to 6am 
  • Asphalt trucks will be entering through the rear gate and there will be heavy traffic on SMD as the vendor paves their way toward the exit gates.
FINISH WORK: Minimal Impact

  • 6/26 - 6/27: Re Stripe Lines (No closure, open to traffic)

FAQ's
How long will we have to drive on the dusty roads/ Does the vendor have proper dust control permits?
MR Tanner has the appropriate dust control permits and has successfully minimized dust and fine particulates when and where they are actively working.

The dust control did not originally extend to the open roads on days when work is not required or scheduled. However, due to the dust concerns and owner feedback, MR Tanner will increase dust control efforts tomorrow with additional water trucks on the main road.

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.
