Construction going through Wickenburg?!?!   In this economy you would think that all construction would be invisible.  That is not the case. Not even in Wickenburg.  If you are traveling through a town under construction you just get used to it.  It seems every town is doing something to enhance the beauty of where they live. It’s a different feeling if you are a local.  I’m sure there are some days the locals drive through Wickenburgand have a few select words to say.  Running to Mc Donalds for a milkshake after lunch can take a bit longer than normal these days.  It’s not very convenient now but after it is all done we will all enjoy it.  The construction of the new bridge is on track for a June opening.  They will remove one side of the existing  Hassyampa  Bridge and use the other side for a walking path and Vendors.  It will be interesting to see how that comes out.  They are also extending the sidewalks on North Tegner (Hwy 93)  past Coffinger Park.  We have a lot of runners, walkers and families taking an evening stroll with the kids. Many will start on one end of town and end up on the other side.  The sidewalks will give us a nice safe feeling. I am disappointed to see how close the bypass is coming behind the homes down by the park.  It may look better than we expect when it is completed.  Don’t let the construction stop you from pulling over into the downtown area.   There are still places to park.  There is a variety of cute shops. Whether it be Western clothes @ Johnsons,  food @ Nanas or picking up a souvenir at several different place along the downtown area.  I think we are all anxiously waiting to see the final product.  Enjoy a stay in Wickenburg there is a lot to see.
