Grand Avenue Reopens in Glendale July 10
 

With ADOT Director Victor Mendez acting as master of ceremonies, Governor Janet Napolitano, Glendale Mayor Elaine Scruggs, and Glendale Council Member David Goulet joined Glendale citizens in celebrating completion of the latest project to modernize US Route 60 in the West Valley: a $26-million revamping of Grand Avenue in Historic Downtown Glendale.

Construction underway in October, 2005

Nearly a mile section of Grand Avenue, one of the oldest thoroughfares in the Valley, was closed for more than a year while crews built the roadway below ground to pass beneath a unique crossing of Glendale and 59th avenues.

The project was undertaken to eliminate a major traffic bottleneck and provide a striking new entrance to Glendale’s historic downtown district with new pedestrian, transit and aesthetic features enhancing the intersection.

Bob Winrow, resident engineer on the project for ADOT’s Phoenix Construction District, says, "Building a new roadway through the historic downtown district in Glendale has been challenging. Discoveries of old utilities and sandy soil conditions pushed back the completion of early construction items and resulted in rephasing the intersection construction activities to keep the project on schedule."

Success is due in large part to effective collaborations. The project’s location, sandwiched between the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway and Glendale City Hall, created the need for close coordination with the railroad and the City of Glendale. ADOT and the contractor’s staff have worked to minimize construction impacts to Historic Downtown Glendale, and a comprehensive partnership between ADOT and the City of Glendale helped to keep businesses and the public informed about the project. Environmental study impacts that estimated a $4-million economic loss and the closure of 18-22 businesses due to customers avoiding the area have not been realized. In reality, Glendale reports that no businesses have closed due to the construction activity, and sales tax revenues were the same or slightly higher than before the project began.

Completion of the underpass is a milestone in the five-year effort to eliminate Grand Avenue’s six-way intersections at several locations in Glendale, Peoria and Phoenix. With completion of the project, Myrtle Avenue and 57th Drive will serve as the primary connections between Grand Avenue and Historic Downtown Glendale.
