Public Works answers questions on new roundabout as construction gets underway
Construction will begin soon on a new roundabout located at the Twin Peaks and Sandario Road intersection.
The Town of Marana will start construction on Monday June 6th and the work will continue through Sunday July 30th. While crews are working, the intersection will be closed in all directions. There will be a detour directing traffic to Avra Valley via Emigh Road, North Sanders Road and North Clayton Place. Regional traffic to Marana High School, area schools, and neighborhoods will be impacted during construction.
Please give yourself extra time if this area is part of your daily commute or plan an alternate route.
The Town expects to have the roundabout completed by the start of the school year.

ONCE COMPLETED, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR TRAFFIC SAFETY?
Roundabouts are a proven safety countermeasure because they can substantially reduce crashes that result in serious injury or death, as well as improve overall safety, promote lower speeds, and reduce conflict points. Due to the roundabout’s proximity to Marana High School, Town of Marana is working with Marana Unified School District to provide guidance for parents to talk to their students about driving safety and how to safely navigate a roundabout. Parents should keep an eye out for more information ahead of the school year.

The Town of Marana evaluated many intersection improvements while studying the Twin Peaks Sandario intersection. The roundabout option was selected due to increased safety and efficiency and lower construction and operating cost.
