Project Description: Schofield Excavation Inc. is reconstructing Cooley Mesa Road to two through lanes in each direction from Navajo Road east to the south entrance of Costco, connecting the existing four-lane sections on both ends of this corridor. Auxiliary turn lanes for left and right turns will be added at the entrance to Siena Lake. The bus stop at Navajo Road will also be improved. An additional water line is also being added for system resiliency. Paving is scheduled for May 2026.
