SR 69: Prescott Lake Parkway to Heather Heights Improvement Project

Overview

The Arizona Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Central Yavapai Metropolitan Planning Organization, has initiated a project to widen and improve State Route 69 in the city of Prescott. A portion of the project is also located on the Yavapai Indian Reservation. The project will construct one additional travel lane in each direction on SR 69 between Prescott Lakes Parkway and Frontier Village (mileposts 294-295) with a raised center median. In addition, a raised center median will be constructed between Yavpe Connector and Heather Heights.

The purpose of this project is to improve traffic safety and increase the capacity of the roadway.

The project has been awarded, awaiting construction. Construction is scheduled to begin early July 2024 and take approximately nine months to complete, with a potential winter shutdown pending weather conditions and construction schedule.

Improvements include: 

• Constructing one additional travel lane in each direction on SR 69 between Prescott Lakes Parkway and Frontier Village (mileposts 294-295) with a raised center median.
•  Constructing a raised center median will be constructed between Yavpe Connector and Heather Heights.
• Constructing curb and gutter.
• Installing new pipe culverts and storm drains.
• Removing and installing a traffic signal.
• Signing, striping and other related work.
