BULLHEAD CITY, AZ., May 17, 2024 – City of Bullhead City staff and contractors will be working on the following projects throughout our city during the week of May 20:

• A contractor working on behalf of the city will continue painting new permanent lines on city streets that have recently been slurried.
• The Optimum Community Center will be closed while City staff and contractors remodel the facility. Ongoing work includes remodeling the gym and adding a new floor, expanding the parking lot, remodeling the commercial kitchen, and adding new pickleball courts. The community center is expected to reopen to the public in the late summer of 2024.
• T.R. Orr Inc. will continue working to expand the Bullhead Senior Campus Building. The new senior campus expansion will add 9,000 square feet of space to the building, including 7,700 square footage of indoor activity and meeting space and 1,300 square feet of covered outdoor patio space. Construction is expected to wrap up around August 2024.
• A contractor will continue rehabilitating the 18-2 lift station located South of Lost Hills Dr and East of Merrill Ave. The project involves installing paneling made of Predl material to protect the well from corrosion.
• A contractor working on behalf of Bullhead City Utilities will continue phase one of the project to install reuse piping and valves at the section 10 water reclamation plant. This will allow the City to conserve precious water by pumping grade A reuse water into the Colorado River.
• A contractor working on behalf of ADOT is installing new street lights in various locations along Silvercreek Road as a part of a Highway Safety Improvement Project awarded to the City. Some lane closures will be in effect while crews work along the shoulder of the road.
• A contractor working on behalf of Bullhead City Utilities will be building a block wall around the 20-1 well site on the north side of Riverview Dr between San Carlos Dr and E. Riverview Cir. This work is expected to last approximately three to four weeks. Please watch for vehicles entering and exiting the roadway.
• The 2 to 5-year-old playground at Ken Fovargue Park will be closed while a contractor builds a new shade cover over the playground. The work is expected to be completed by June 30.
• The City Council Chambers will be closed from May 21 through June 03 while new doors are installed.
• A contractor working on behalf of Bullhead City Utilities will install a water main interconnection near the intersection of Merrill and Highway 95. The work will be performed in the evenings and cut across Merrill Ave east of Highway 95. Traffic along Merrill Ave will be reduced to one lane while work is ongoing. Flaggers will direct traffic as construction occurs. The left turn lane for southbound traffic along Highway 95 onto Merrill will be closed while work is underway. Turning onto Merrill Ave from Highway 95 will still be available to Northbound Traffic.
• A contractor working on behalf of Bullhead City Utilities will install a new valve to a water main along the southern edge of Hancock Rd between Trane Rd and Hoppas Dr. The work is expected to last a few days and will periodically reduce eastbound traffic to one lane while crews work.

The City reminds the public to only flush human waste, toilet paper, and grey water down the drain. All other waste products should be disposed of through other means to avoid damage to the city’s infrastructure.
