BULLHEAD CITY, AZ., November 01, 2024 – Scheduled for the week of November 4, various projects will be underway throughout the city by City of Bullhead City staff and contractors. All projects are set to enhance the city’s infrastructure and serve the community effectively.

Street maintenance crews will be working on the northern side of Bullhead Parkway between Landon Dr and Laughlin Ranch Blvd as part of the City Street Maintenance Program (CSMP) of 2024-2025. The full schedule and list of streets receiving treatment under this program are available at bullheadcity.com/csmp. City street maintenance crews will also be sweeping various streets in advance of the CSMP schedule and re-painting fresh lines on Bullhead Parkway where recent slurry work was performed.

McCormick Construction will progress on installing a raised median with street lights on Bullhead Parkway between Silvercreek Rd and Laredo Dr. This grant-funded Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) is overseen by The Arizona Department of Transportation. McCormick Construction is also contracted to build a new ATV/UTV parking lot to serve as a trailhead for the Arizona Peace Trail southeast of Bullhead Parkway and Silver Creek Rd junction.

The Optimum Community Center will temporarily close due to ongoing construction. As part of this project, Perco Rock Company of Salt Lake City, Utah is set to expand the parking lot, adding approximately 400 parking stalls.

At the southeast intersection of Highway 95 and Laughlin Ranch Blvd, a contractor will rehabilitate the 18-1 lift station. The project intends to prolong the system’s lifespan through installation of Predl material and additional enhancements.

Contractors representing Bullhead City Utilities will perform asphalt and concrete repairs around the City following water line repairs. Bullhead City Utilities will also replace a motor and pump in the Sun Ridge neighborhood’s well, clean sewer lines along Country Club Dr and Lause Rd to Rainbow Dr, and replace a service line on Alta Vista Road (expected closure on Friday, November 8).
