About the Project

Sonoqui Wash improvements include channel excavation and slope stabilization between Chandler Heights Road and Riggs Road, the construction of a multi-use path and the construction of a new channel eastward to Crismon Road along the south side of Riggs Road.

The Riggs Road crossing project includes construction of a new bridge over the Sonoqui Wash with sidewalk, bike lanes and equestrian accommodation under the bridge linking to the Town of Queen Creek's trail system. In addition, this project is constructing a new east/west roadway (Marsh Road) south of Riggs Road between just west of the 202nd Place and 204th Street alignments.

In accordance with seasonal changes, the contractor may begin activities as early as 6 a.m. and work until 7 p.m. Some evening or weekend work may be required. All construction activities are expected to be completed by late May; however the Maricopa County contractor will continue to maintain newly landscaped areas within the project limits through September.
