172nd Avenue Closure: 172nd Avenue is completely closed to through traffic from Deer Valley Road to Paraiso Lane. The designated detour route for access to Deer Valley Road is via Williams Road.

The City of Surprise is collaborating with the developer responsible for work on Deer Valley Road where areas of asphalt are failing. The implemented traffic shift is designed to keep vehicles off these affected areas while the developer performs repairs. The City is continuing to work with the developer to conduct testing to identify the root cause of the asphalt failure and to ensure that all necessary fixes are covered by the developer.

Drivers are advised to plan for detours, allow for extra travel time and exercise caution when navigating the work zones.
