Scottsdale walkers celebrate the new underpasses helping them avoid crossing a busy intersection

In the City of Scottsdale, the intersection of Chaparral and Hayden roads is right next to two major parks. On the Green Belt trail, walkers, joggers, and bicyclists had to cross the busy streets to get to the other side of the path.

Now, a third underpass project is completed, and everyone can continue on the trail without ever having to cross the surface streets.

“We’ve been watching and waiting for when this would open," Shelby Rainey said. "And this is my first time navigating it and I’m very excited.”
