Broadway Road opens between 43rd<\/sup> and 51st<\/sup> in Laveen<\/strong><\/p>\n

With road projects tying up traffic along Dobbins Road and Southern Avenue, the opening late last month of this extension may relieve a little of the east\/west morning commute.
\nNamed \u201cSegment 5\u201d in the city of Phoenix\u2019s $84 million Avendia Rio Salado \/ Broadway Road project, the extension officially opened on Oct. 26. \u00a0The north half of the new roadway section is open with one lane of traffic in each direction, bike lanes and a center-turn lane.
\nAs a result of the opening, there are two traffic signal changes and there are flashing boards to alert drivers to be aware of the changes.
\nThere is now a four-way instead of a three-way intersection at 51st<\/sup> and Broadway with a four-way traffic light. Northbound traffic on 51st<\/sup> must stop as well as southbound. At 43rd<\/sup> Avenue, north and southbound traffic must stop while Broadway Road motorists now have the right-of-way.
\n“Great cities make it easy, and safe, for residents to connect to neighbors and other areas of the city. That\u2019s why I\u2019m so excited about the opening of the new roadway section of Broadway Road,\u201d Councilman Michael Nowakowski said in a statement issued by the city. \u201cI encourage residents to come check out the improvements and celebrate another great investment in our city.\u201d
\nImprovements to the south side of Broadway Road between 51st to 43rd avenues will be completed as part of final phase for the project. The project is primarily federally funded and eventually will take Broadway from 51st<\/sup> Avenue all the way to Seventh Street. Visit www.avenidariosalado.com<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
