THE PRESCOTT VALLEY TOWN COUNCIL APPROVED THE OLD BLACK CANYON HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT LAST WEEK, AND WORK ON THE ROADWAY WILL BEGIN NEXT WEEK. CREWS WILL BE OUT ON OLD BLACK CANYON HIGHWAY STARTING NEXT MONDAY. SIX INCHES OF ASPHALT MILLINGS WILL BE PUT DOWN ON THE DIRT ROAD BETWEEN BETWEEN THE STONERIDGE AND RAVEN RIDGE SUBDIVISIONS. 

DURING THE 2017 GOODWIN FIRE, THIS PROJECT WAS IDENTIFIED BY TOWN OFFICIALS TO ADDRESS AN EVACUATION SAFETY CONCERN. THE CONCERN WAS THE LACK OF AN ALL-WEATHER SECONDARY EMERGENCY INGRESS/EGRESS FOR RESIDENTS OF THE STONERIDGE AND PRESCOTT COUNTRY CLUB/RAVEN RIDGE SUBDIVISIONS. 

THE PROJECT SHOULD TAKE 40 DAYS TO COMPLETE. THE COST OF THE PROJECT IS $523,000.
