COOLIDGE, AZ - Entrance road and parking lot repaving will begin at the Casa Grande Ruins National Monument on Monday, January 18. The work is anticipated to take one month during which time the monument will remain open, but with minor delays on the entrance road and reduced parking available for visitors. The parking lot paving project is expected to be complete by Mid-February. During the project, the parking capacity will be reduced and large vehicle maneuverable space will be reduced. The needed repaving will improve the entrance road and parking lot surface conditions.
Casa Grande Ruins National Monument protects the multi-story Great House and the ruins of other ancient structures built by the people of the Sonoran Desert over 800 years ago. The monument’s normal operating hours are daily from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Independence Day holidays.
