Prescott Valley is moving forward with a redesign Glassford Hill Road widening project that
improves capacity and safety while minimizing right-of-way impacts.
Project area, Glassford Hill Road from Long Look Drive to State Route 89A.
The town of Prescott Valley has advanced the Glassford Hill Road widening project with revised
plans that avoid acquiring new right-of-way from private property owners.
The redesign keeps the expanded roadway, sidewalks, and other improvements within the town's
existing corridor, reducing disruption and cost. What to expect? Upon completion, the corridor
will feature a new northbound lane and a new southbound lane, upgraded curbs and gutters,
continuous sidewalks, enhanced drainage, and paved shoulders. These changes are intended to
increase traffic capacity, improve safety for motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists, and support future
development in the region. Timeline and funding. Design work is complete, and construction is
anticipated to commence in late January or February 2026, with an expected duration of approximately
nine months. Funding for the project is provided through a state legislative appropriation
secured with the support of the Central Yavapai Metropolitan Planning Organization as part
of Arizona's Transportation Capital Program. Why it matters. Glassford Hill Road serves as a key
arterial link between SR-69 and SR-89A. Expanding the corridor will reduce traffic bottlenecks,
improve multimodal access, and help safeguard mobility as the region grows. The project also
emphasizes pedestrian and bicycle accessibility, which is currently limited along the route.
Residents and motorists should plan for increased construction activity beginning in early
2026. For project updates and more information, visit the town of Prescott Valley Project
