A major roadway reconstruction project in downtown Buckeye, Arizona will impact Roosevelt, Edison, and Eason streets between 4th Street and Miller Road over the next several months. The project aims to create a smoother, more durable driving surface and improve accessibility, but will require street closures and temporary disruptions to residents.

The details

The reconstruction work will be carried out in three phases, with Roosevelt Street being completed first by May, followed by Edison Street by July, and Eason Street from July through October. During construction, the affected streets will be closed to through traffic, but residents will still have access to their homes.

  • The Edison Street phase will run from May 2026 to July 2026.
