The City of Flagstaff and their contractor, Banicki Construction, will start construction on the Schultz Creek Drainage Improvements at US Hwy 180 in April. The project will include the installation of a new concrete box culvert under US Hwy 180 and is scheduled to be substantially complete by July 1 to help mitigate flooding before the 2024 monsoon season. Final project activities such as repaving of the highway and re-establishing nearby landscaping will be completed by Aug. 1.
Traffic control operations will be setup on US Hwy 180 between W Stevanna Way and Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church at the earliest on April 1 and remain until Aug. 1. Both lanes will remain open with speeds reduced to 25 mph around the construction zone. Construction activities will take place from Monday through Saturday from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m., though these hours may change throughout the duration of the project. The Flagstaff Urban Trail System (FUTS) trail segment paralleling US Hwy 180 will remain open for the entirety of the project, with a detour implemented during one phase of the project.
