April 1 deadline is nearing for input on potential I-10 improvements

The Arizona Department of Transportation reminds members of the public to share their comments and input regarding the Environmental Assessment of the I-10 Broadway Curve study area between the Interstate 17 “Split” interchange in Phoenix and the Loop 202 (Santan Freeway) in Chandler, one of the most heavily traveled corridors in the Valley.

About 200 people attended ADOT's Feb. 26 public information and scoping meeting in Tempe to hear a presentation about the potential improvements, ask questions and submit comments. All meeting materials presented at the meeting are available on the study homepage at azdot.gov/I10BroadwayCurve under “Public Meetings Documents.”

There are still plenty of ways to provide feedback, including:

In partnership with the Federal Highway Administration and Maricopa Association of Governments, ADOT is conducting an Environmental Assessment in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to study 11 miles of I-10 between 24th Street and Ray Road, a stretch that includes the Broadway Curve, which handles more than 40 percent of freeway traffic in the region.

Potential improvements identified through previous studies, including the I-10/I-17 “Spine” Corridor Master Plan, include: an additional general purpose lane and/or additional HOV lane; a collector-distributor road system offering local traffic lanes; and reconstructing the I-10/State Route 143/Broadway Road connections and the I-10/US 60 connection.

Comments must be received by April 1 to be included in the official study record.
