To enhance safety and improve traffic flow in a growing area of the Verde Valley, the Arizona Department of Transportation is upgrading nine miles of State Route 260 to the four-lane divided highway between Camp Verde and Cottonwood west of Interstate 17.
The $62 million project, which began in early March, will create seven roundabout intersections at Thousand Trails Road, Coury Drive, Cherry Creek Road, Horseshoe Bend Drive, Wilshire Road and two locations that will accommodate future development.
