The Town
of Wickenburg has two large projects that have started that may affect the
traffic around the town, the Bypass and US-60 east. We will have updates on
the website to keep you informed of any closures. In addition, Phase 3 of
the Streetscape will begin once Tegner street is a Town street instead of a
state highway. Don’t miss the Downtown sculptures
including 6 large sculptures and 16 linking pieces. The larger projects are
as follows:
